The Workshop

If you’ve ever wanted to make a sword, then this fully catered, two day residential course in rural Wales will be perfect for you. The sword-making course includes all tools and materials, with expert guidance so that you can make your own fully finished, hilted and polished bronze leaf shaped sword.

No experience is necessary, just the preparedness to work hard for a couple of days, to produce a thing of beauty from another age.

“I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Dave is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient teacher and utterly passionate about the ancient world. Even when we weren’t making swords, he’s a great person to talk to.”

“This course was brilliant, the setting, the wonderful people running it and of course the jolly good company of the participants. The sword I made is something I thought I would never do. I have now and have not stopped smiling since!

If you are thinking of doing the sword or lost wax course, don't delay. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner!”
