Blacksmith Forging Experience in Herts, England

The sight of glowing hot metal being pulled from a blacksmith’s fire is something that many may have seen, have you ever wanted to see what it takes to get metal to that state?

Have you ever wondered what’s so different about a blacksmith’s hammer?

Did you ever want to feel how it feels strike steel?

To know that you had a hand in the end result, of something that until then, was only something you’d like to see happen?

If you or anyone you know has always wanted to have a go at blacksmithing why not book a time to come along and learn about fire and metal the blacksmith’s way!

My blacksmith experience days website page tells you everything you need to know, there’s also a link to my Eventbrite booking page.

Petefire demonstrations in Herts, Beds, Bucks & north London, exciting metalwork action

My blacksmith demonstrations at summer fairs and other events are very popular. They are pretty dramatic with lots of smoke, noisy banging and fire, I take safety seriously, with the portable forge roped off from members of the public. Click here to find out more.

Papa Knife interview

Me and my Dad, John Williamson had a chat about one of my blacksmith forged knife styles – the Papa Knife. There’s the original one, then there’s the Papa Knife that we use every day in the kitchen. We also talk about a Papa Knife that was made for a client in Abbots Langley, Herts.

Questions

Here are some typical questions about blacksmithing and metalwork. If you’ve got questions you’re welcome to ask them – I might even add them to this list.

You can also message me through the Petefire Facebook page – we’re normally pretty fast at responding.

Metalwork commissions

Have you got a blacksmithing project that you’ve been pondering – for a short period of time, or something that’s at the back of your mind for ages?

I may be the blacksmith that you’ve been looking for. I take on large or small blacksmithing commissions and see each project as a collaboration between me, the client and the possibilities of what can be achieved on the forge.

I’m proud to be a artist blacksmith in Herts, England.
