If I could give 6 stars or higher, I would. Richard's blacksmithing class was a fantastic value and so fun. Richard is friendly, patient, and, most importantly, encouraging. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn something new, authentic, and unique. My only regret is not booking two sessions with him, so I could learn more! I recommend doing the full day experience because you'll only be scratching the surface with only half a day. (It'll go by faster than you realize.) I'm not exaggerating when I say that this was a highlight of three weeks spent in Ireland.
