How could one possibly start to describe a journey as incredible as Hammer,Fire and Anvil.
Broken limbs, to much time and and some wild ideas, probably pushed me to enrol on a Blacksmith's taster day at Plymouth College of Art.
If memory serves i was without a doubt terrible! A first attempt at a hand forged keyring out of mild steel round bar probably led to some amusement amongst my fellow tasters, not that i was worried, i was already hooked, even my attempt at a leaf was not enough to deter my inner Smith, even if the leaf resembled a way to thin and over sized beer can ring pull, i was suitably mesmerised.
At the end of the four hour session, i knew i would be back the following week for burns,elation and a hell of a lot of frustration.
