This course is based on our hugely successful course taught by Peat Oberon here for many decades. Peat is an award-winning traditional blacksmith, terrific mentor and international teacher, and he devised this course as the very best way to teach the key blacksmithing techniques. He has written comprehensive books about the techniques of blacksmithing that have been translated into a number of different languages and are read throughout the world. Peat, now in his eighties, is still going strong but can no longer perform the incredible feat of driving down from Middlesbrough, teaching all weekend and driving all the way back - so he is finally learning to take it easy and put his feet up occasionally with a well-earned beer in hand. A dedicated educator, he is delighted that Tom Quinnell continues to run his well-structured and challenging course that continues to be extremely popular.
