Cooking up some fire-y, steel-y goodness!
We love this snap from last months Blacksmithing Masterclass, where members learnt the core techniques used by blacksmiths to manipulate hot steel into magic. ✨
Thank you, Richard and Lizzie of , for coming in to teach our members some tricks of the trade - and for blessing our anvil at our brand new Stratford location (more information on this coming soon…) What joy!
