Blacksmithing courses form the soul of IASTUDIOS. We take our passion for the craft of blacksmithing and pass it on to you, keeping the traditional craft alive. It is our aim to spread this passion to as many people as possible.

Blacksmithing has been a fundamental skill for millennia. Connect with thousands of years of history by joining us on one of our courses and discover one of the most addictive and satisfying activities you will ever try.

With decades of blacksmithing and course teaching experience in our team, with 7 years being the minimum of any member of staff, all students on our courses can rest assured that they are being looked after by an experienced pair of hands.

At IASTUDIOS we have a firm belief in low student to teacher ratios, with this in mind our maximum class size per Blacksmith tutor is 4, ensuring quality and plenty of time per student in each class.

We have a courses tailored for people who would like to try out blacksmithing, we have courses for people who want to learn the techniques of blacksmithing or hone techniques that they have already learnt and we also have courses based around a specific product outcome. We offer group booking discounts for parties of 2 or larger and private one-to-one bookings for people who want to make something bespoke under our guidance that we don’t cover in one of our courses.

Don’t want/need our help but want to take advantage of our facilities? We also offer workshop space for rental. You may be a hobby blacksmith but need a bit more kit, or perhaps a blacksmithing student who wants more forge time. We can cater for you.
