OTHER/UNIQUE ITEMS
A collection of forged pieces that do not fit neatly into a single category — including walking sticks, jewellery and distinctive one-off creations. Each begins with an idea and becomes something entirely its own.
STUDENT STORIES
Every course leaves more than a knife behind. It leaves a story.
Meet some of the people who have stepped into the workshop, learned new skills and made something with their own hands.
Not just made by hand —
shaped by a lifetime of love for the craft.
