Hello there,
I am a female Blacksmith who will shortly be moving to Australia. I have already contacted a few Blacksmiths in Australia but so far I haven't been able to contact any that are local to Sydney or Melbourne. Please let me know if you are local to that area and wouldn't mind having a brit come and say hello. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

I planning my Australia adventure at the moment and would like to know about any smiths that would take someone on for some short term help?
I plan to start off in sydney, then travel to melbourne and then who knows.
I have two years Blacksmithing experience and would like to incorporate as much smithing as possible into my trip.

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks
Davs

Hello all,

I've been smithing for the last four years and find it to be the best creative outlet out of all the craft things I do. I'm soon to be heading off to Auz and would love to know about any other Smiths / trainee smiths out there as I'm planning to visit as many forges as possible.

O,k will do, thanks. Do you know of any other smiths that might let me pay a visit? I'm probably starting off in Sydney then to Melbourne and then who knows.

Wow, this is great I should have done this earlier. Thanks to everyone who has added something. Keep them coming please!!

And yes, I will put pics up after the trip.

Hi,

I am planning to go to Isreal & New Zeland later this year. I would greatly appreciate help with my quest to seek out other smiths in other cultures. My particular passions are forging techniques from the 1800's & the Mande Blacksmiths of Africa. I haver been looking into these various topics for a while now and I am planning to create a new set of inspirational reference points. Does anyone know of any Blacksmiths, or Metalworkers currently working in Isreal or New Zeland. I would like to contact them for research purposes and possibly to stop and visit along the way.

I would be grateful for any information given.

Thanks
Davs
