Kids "Make your own Triangle" Blacksmithing Session

About this experience

Over 11s Blacksmith Experience- Make your own musical triangle - £30 (for a parent and child together: one ticket per pair).

·        Must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

·        Age 11+

·        Approx 1-2hrs, work at your own pace.

·        Jon the Blacksmith will give a short talk on Blacksmithing to give the kids an introduction to the craft, and a little history.

·        Health and Safety talk and intro to tools (hammers, anvils and fire!)

·        Demonstration of the process of making the triangle.

·        Kids will be given their own pieces of steel and (with parent) will forge their musical triangle to shape (it doesn’t have to be a triangle!), and also forge the striker (the stick to hit it with!), and attach a leather cord to hang it.

·        Kids can choose to polish or leave forge-blackened, and we will wax the finished product.

·        You can take home your finished musical instrument.
