Did you know that skilled blacksmiths can "listen" to the metal as they work? The sound—either a sharp ring or a dull thud—reveals critical details about its readiness and quality. It’s a centuries-old skill passed down through generations.

Who We Are Wednesday

This week at Hereford Make, we’re showcasing one of our third-year Hereford College of the Arts makers who’s working on something epic—the centrepiece of a puzzle. It’s the kind of work that requires focus, patience, and a whole lot of skill with fire and steel. Watching this come together in the forge is a reminder of why we love what we do—supporting makers who are turning ideas into reality one strike at a time.
