FORGE THE IRON ROSE, 1-DAY £285.00
Roses have captivated hearts and minds for centuries, our Blacksmith-made roses are hand-forged in steel using traditional techniques. They are a lasting symbol of love and beauty. The rose making course is a popular choice for memorial and remembrance gifts or the unforgettable dates and anniversaries—especially the 6th "iron" and 11th "steel"—as a strong, rust-proof keepsake to treasure for years.
In this course, you'll learn the fundamental basics of blacksmithing in a supportive and engaging environment. You’ll begin with a quick hands-on exercise designed to introduce you to key techniques, alongside fascinating insights into the history behind hot forging. Did you know Flamenco has a deeply rooted connection with the blacksmiths forge? Throughout the day, you’ll have full control of the fire and work directly at the anvil, allowing you to gain practical experience whilst you forge your very own iron rose.
The course starts at 10am, includes a 1-hour lunch break, and ends before 4pm. There is no rush and you can take your time enjoying the Pitt street food market. You keep all your work and learn how to finish and care for your projects. Classes are small, with up to three people per session or can be booked as a private event. This is a practical experience, so be prepared to get your hands dirty. However there is nothing to worry about and an expert blacksmith will be there to guide you every step of the way.
