REVIEWS

  • “This was a truly amazing experience! My Son surprised me with a 68th birthday gift and found this experience not only educational, but understanding the craftsmanship involved with this unique and rare 'Trade'. Recommend this adventure for anyone who would want to experience something different - My Son and I left on such a 'high' and thrilled that we both experienced this. Thanks Brian!”

He helped us to make something that suits our personalities and took the time to help us bring out our vision. We are already talking about taking another class!”

  • “I truly enjoyed my time and learning experience with Brian. The process was thorough yet paced where I could easily understand the fundamentals and begin to apply in a safe environment. There is a world of Blacksmithing to explore and Brian’s method of delivery serves to excite a much deeper interest in learning more.”
