Forge Your Own Adventure – Blacksmith Experience (1 hour)

Step into the heat and try your hand at traditional blacksmithing in this one-hour taster session at Wildman Farm. Held in our working coke forge, you'll learn the basics of working with fire, steel, and hammer to create a small forged item to take home. No prior experience needed, just curiosity and a love for hands-on craft.

Set in the heart of our farm's purpose-built forge, this immersive session is perfect for anyone wanting to experience the age-old trade in a relaxed and welcoming environment. All tools and materials are provided. Come as you are and leave with something uniquely yours.

You'll have the chance to make something practical, like a coat hook, S-hook for macramé, leaf keyring, or letter opener, or something a little more fun and creative, like a decorative snail or a twisted steel bracelet. For safety, we recommend wearing cotton clothing and closed-in shoes, you'll be working with fire and hot metal, after all!

Stay on for a warm tea or coffee inside our barn and discover what else you can create at Wildman Farm.

THE FORGE RESTS FOR SUMMER

Our Blacksmith Experience is now taking a break for the Fire Danger Season, which runs from 1 November 2025 to 30 April 2026.
During this period, fire restrictions apply across South Australia under the Fire and Emergency Services Act 2005.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the forge when the season ends and the flames can safely return in May 2026. 🔥
