About Frontier Forge
Founded in 2026 After 5 years of business as Bill's Workshop and a decade after first picking up the hammer, Frontier Forge has a dedicated aim to produce luxury high quality cookware to last a lifetime and to deliver exceptional blacksmithing courses to enthral others to the ancient skill.
Since the summer of 2023 we have taught regular blacksmithing courses so that we can bring the heritage craft to others, delivering unforgettable experience days in our forge where we share our passion for the craft. Now with one of the widest ranges of blacksmithing courses in the South of England our small team work hard to produce courses which show the skill of the craft and enable you walk away with your very own masterpieces.
'We decided to re-brand after re-locating workshop to a location that I not only grew up in but one which is constantly evolving and developing for the better.' A hamlet of captivating business on a ever creative rural estate, beginning to become well known for its heritage crafts. With 2026 making a decade of experience, our new name and new focus mean that we are more passionate than ever with our skill and look forward to what lies ahead.
We love what we do.
