Blacksmithing and Metalwork

HLC is recognised as the foremost national centre for training Smiths who wish to work in the various areas of forged iron, ranging from traditional to contemporary design work.

Smiths trained at HLC are very highly regarded by employers and many subsequently trade in their own right. Blacksmithing is an excellent choice for a hard working person who has keen eyes and artistic ability, possibly someone who would like to form their own business, someone who has enjoyed woodwork, metalwork, drawing and the other related subjects at school.
