Blacksmith Experience Day – Junior Courses

When you make your payment, we will email you a voucher for your ‘Experience Day’. You will need to email us to arrange a date. We will do our best to arrange a day that works for you before, but spaces are limited so we recommend booking early to secure your date.

If the Experience Day is a present, we will honour the same terms for the lucky person you are giving the voucher to, but they will need to confirm the email address used to buy the experience when they book their place.

Our Junior course is intended for those aged from years 11-14 courses and will be a private session attended by the child, one parent and Michael hart. These are offered for for clients wanting to provide a unique experience for their child as part of extra curricular activities if at school or home schooled.

Michael has a background in teaching from years as a lecturer and Michael has a passion for teaching students in a way that informs and inspires them to progress at their own pace. Michaels approach is informative and relaxed to ensure students feel as comfortable as possible and he is happy to cater for those with a variety of disabilities and conditions.

On this course we can make any of the set items offered on our other courses or we can make an item specific to yourself. Parents bringing their child will be included in the day and participate alongside their child for a shared experience. The reason these are private sessions is purely for safety reasons.
