5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're even thinking about taking the Vikings Don't Cry Blacksmith course, stop thinking and just do it! This was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding hands-on experiences I've ever had. Jeremy is an outstanding owner and instructor. His passion for blacksmithing is obvious from the moment you meet him, and he has an incredible ability to teach beginners. He was patient, encouraging, and always willing to answer questions, making sure everyone felt confident and safe throughout the class. The atmosphere was welcoming, the instruction was clear, and there was plenty of hands-on time at the forge. I walked away with not only a great finished piece but also a genuine appreciation for the craft. Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, challenge yourself, or just have an unforgettable experience, I can't recommend Vikings Don't Cry enough. Jeremy has built something truly special. Five stars all the way!
