ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm David Southgate, a Sheffield Blacksmith

My Blacksmithing journey began in early 2014, with a 3 day course in rural Lincolnshire. I was able to take on a forge at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, a museum in Sheffield. In late 2015 I embarked on the well respected "Design and Forgework Skills" course at the National School of Blacksmithing in Hereford. I passed with distinction in July 2017.
