Look into herefords ba hons artist blacksmithing degree i have jus qualified an now im in australia workin for a blacksmith for a year or so as a journeyman, best 3 years of my life wasnt at all like 6th form or normal education if your serious about learnin hereford weather its the technical course or artist blacksmithing degree is the place to go! Plumpton is okay but not as good as hereford but it is run by a great guy called ricky! If ya go say hi from me! Good luck there is hope you jus gotta work for it an really want it an keep a very open mind!
