Forging Taster Sessions with Joel Black
Where:
Join master knife maker, Joel Black for these FREE forging taster sessions
Joel Black and his team will be running a series of forging taster sessions throughout the day. They will be 30-minute slots in which you’ll get to hit some hot metal with a hammer and see what it’s all about.
You might end up with a hook, some bbq skewers a bottle opener, or even just a very squashed bit of steel depending on how well you get on - but however it ends up, we hope you have fun as that’s what it’s all about.
All PPE and tutorage will be provided, so just come along and swing a hammer. It’s all free of charge because we like to share our trade!
WHEN? Friday, Saturday, Sunday - the sessions can be booked through the first hour of the day (12-1pm) and will run from 1pm to 4pm
WHERE? Head over the moat, into the Inner Bailey - and look to your right.
ADDITIONAL INFO If you’re over 18 then you won’t need to be accompanied by a responsible adult; however if you’re under 18 you’ll need to have your legal gaurdian on hand to meet insurance requirements.
Joel and his team will also have other demos running throughout the day where you will be able to watch how they make things. There will be a selection on knives available to buy and they’ll be on hand to talk about steel, knives wet stones and knife making courses.
