The Forest Heritage Centre is sponsoring a number of short courses in wood and metal work in the next few months
Specifically for folk interested in smithing are following two courses.
INTRODUCTION TO BLACKSMITHING with Master Blacksmith Carl MacMillanSaturday, 6th April
TOOL MAKING (Intermediate Blacksmithing) with Master Blacksmith, Carl MacMillan
Saturday & Sunday, 4th & 5th May
These courses will be held in Carl's own Studio in Dwellingup. He is a highly skilled blacksmith, having worked for 10 years as a blacksmith. Participants of the course will benefit from his excellent teaching and great artistic design skills in blacksmithing. Carl spent several years working in England with James & Sons on restoration work for English Heritage Houses and is currently working on several projects. These workshops are always popular so get in quickly to book, as places are limited to 6 participants.
Cost: Intro Blacksmithing course $175. Intermediate 2 day course $285.
Time: 9am - 4pm each day
If you are interested please contact [email protected] to register and for more info.

The reason I am providing this info here is that contrary to the blurb above I have tried to attend these twice in the last few years and both times the course has been cancelled because they have been just 1 or 2 people short.
