The work of the blacksmith is one of the oldest trades in the world. What makes it unique is that almost all the work is done by hand. A lump of iron is formed into beautiful dishes, vases and decorative objects by means of fire and technique. Experience how it is to work with fire!
Experience description
During the workshop in an atmospheric and characteristic forge, you will be introduced to this wonderful, ancient craft. You will try your hand with fire, a hammer and anvil, and by the end of the day, you will have produced your own object which you can take home!
For whom?
- For groups looking for a team building exercise. Forging is a metaphor for creating new bonds and for strengthening existing ones
- For individuals and/or groups wanting to have fun. Pleasure and collaboration are foremost in this tough forging experience. Strike while the iron is hot!

About Annelied
I am one of the first qualified female blacksmith in the Netherlands with a diploma awarded by the Guild of Art Blacksmiths (Gilde van de Kunstsmeden). The trade is in my blood as I am the fifth generation in a family of blacksmiths. I am passionate about creating bold metallic shapes.
I enjoy the smell of the iron. When I forge, the material is like putty in my hands.

Such an amazing day, Annelied is an amazing teacher and explained everything really clearly. I had such great time and left with a viking knife that I made from start to finish. 100% recommend and I will be back for another day in the future

My husband and I booked a private session with Annelied and it was a blast! We had never spent any time in a forge but left with a wealth of knowledge thanks to Annelied’s expert tutelage. She taught us several different techniques and was there to help, but really encouraged us to do it all on our own- only helping when we clearly needed it. By the end we each had our own knives of which we are both quite proud. I highly recommend the experience- if you’re considering it… do it!

I received a voucher for this course for Christmas and finally managed to attend it. It was a lovely day after which you’ll be quite sore – from standing and walking all day and of course from swinging the hammer. I enjoyed it a lot and despite being the only English speaking person I managed to talk to some people a bit and Annelied made sure I got the gist of what was going on 🙂 Would definitely recommend!
