Thought it was about time I introduced myself properly!

I’m Matt, Artisan Blacksmith here at Skeggox Forge - located in the Staffordshire Moorlands, at Winkhill just outside of Leek.
I’ve been forging for over 20 years, alongside working for various local engineering companies as a CNC Machinist. In 2020 I decided to take the plunge and make blacksmithing my full-time job, and now get to spend my days playing with fire and hammering metal 🔥⚒️
A few years ago I decided I wanted to start sharing my knowledge and skills, and now offer blacksmith experiences for groups of up to 4 people. Through this I’ve discovered a love for teaching, and really enjoy sharing my passion for this ancient craft with anyone who wants to learn.

If you’re interested in finding out more, have a look at the website at skeggoxforge.co.uk ⚒️

What do you give the person who already has everything? 🤔

Our Blacksmith Experiences make the perfect gift, whether it’s a half day taster session or a full day experience 🔥⚒️

Light the fire, shape the steel, and take pride in creating something entirely from scratch!
Discover the skills that blacksmiths have relied upon since the Iron Age - during the experience you’ll learn to use and maintain a traditional coke forge, master various hammer techniques, and work with the anvil and an array of forming tools to achieve your desired outcomes.

Gift vouchers will also be available to purchase at .staffordshire A Staffordshire Christmas on 7th December 🎄
