Three new beginners courses have been listed and are now open for registration! Waterside is now offering two modules for the beginner and together, the modules cover the 7 fundamentals of blacksmithing. Module 1 is suitable for the absolute beginner, while Module 2 will build on and extend the skills and techniques learned in Module 1. Module 2 is therefore suitable for students who have completed Module 1 or anyone who has previously completed a structured beginners course with another recognised blacksmithing group.
