Blacksmithing Classes
Blacksmithing classes in Cheshire
A.D.Price Metalcraft offers blacksmithing classes in Cheshire for individuals who are interested in mastering the art of the craft.
Blacksmithing classes by an expert
At A.D. Price Metalcraft, I provide blacksmithing sessions to individuals who would like to try their hand at the craft of blacksmithing in a genuine Victorian blacksmith's forge or perhaps you would like to buy a voucher as a birthday or Christmas present for someone who would like to experience blacksmithing. A session starts at 10am and finishes at about 4pm with a half an hour lunchbreak halfway through so please bring a packed lunch. The task I allot my students is to make a hand forged hanging basket bracket and there's time to forge a second project of a diamond pointed leaf wrapped fire poker with a twist using the fire, hammer and anvil entailing a number of blacksmithing techniques to decorate and forge out the bracket.
My blacksmithing classes take place all year round on a particular designated Saturday if a designated Saturday is not convenient for you then please book a weekday in advance.
So get in touch with me, Alex Price, to book an available day or to buy a voucher for someone."
Hiring the forge for the day
If you would like to hire out the forge to make what you want, it will cost you £20 and hour plus the cost of the coal and metal needed for your project
Reasonable pricing
The blacksmithing course will cost you £170 per person. You can make complete use of the forge under my supervision and you can take home what you have made. Advance bookings are advisable.
A personalised service
I will personally demonstrate the ways to forge a part. I will also have the fire(s) ready for you on your arrival in order to crack on for the rest of the day.As you forge out your parts,I will weld it all together for you to take home.
Contact me if you are looking for a blacksmith to undertake bespoke fabrication
work in Cheshire.
"I am really pleased with what I made, a few mistakes but Alex helped me get it right in the end, I have a city and guilds in welding and have done some steel work before but just fabrication, actually heating up the metal in the fire and bashing it on the anvil was new to me and exciting, I like blacksmithing, it's awesome and would like to pursue it as a career".

"It's refreshing to know that blacksmithing is not a man's world anymore, I guess it's partly because of the tools and machines we have today compared to a century ago and Art and Design has changed the way we have looked at old wrought iron designs. I was a bit wary when entering Alex Price's forge but having quite an unassuming nature, he made me feel at ease, he was very helpful and made the session enjoyable. I have a creative background and have tried my hand at a few crafts like jewellery, ceramics and glass, I would like to combine what blacksmithing skills I learnt with Alex with glass, I reckon it would be a good combination".
- Emma Wright
"It's wonderful to see that steel is still being forged by hand today, even though it's a rarity now. All my life I've wanted to try my hand at blacksmithing, it was great to find Alex Price, a professional blacksmith, who teaches the craft not far from where I live here on the Wirral. It was a good day working in a real blacksmith's forge, making something using the fire, hammer and the anvil and a satisfying result at the end, the bird feeder I made, is a present to my wife as a 'thank you' for sorting out a blacksmithing session as a birthday present to me and it will take pride of place in our garden".
