Seawolf Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi, My names Gareth. I've been accepted to attend the National School of Blacksmithing in September. I'm a complete novice (dad was a welder so i understand that side but light on practice) and I've been asked by my future tutor to get some work experience in. I'm looking to increase my knowledge base and I honestly cannot wait to start! Im based in South Wales and I'm looking for forges or metalworkers in the area to visit, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Have you checked who's running the smithy at St Fagins? I knew of a fellow in Somerset if that isn't too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawolf Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'll check with St Fagans tomorrow, be a good place to start. I've thrown my name about to alot of the forges ive found via the internet but hopefully I can get myself to some fairs this year and network that way.
