点评:We had a generally good experience with this and we went as a group of friends for the 3 hr experience. We each made something different and came away with a knowledge of basic skills and the pleasure of seeing talented smiths working with metal. My own personal view is that it would have been helpful to have a finished example of the product we were working towards somewhere in the workshop and not just in the shop area. We could have then checked our own creation against the finished item- I lost track of what I was trying to achieve. I would also have liked gloves provided ( or more clearly advised to bring your own) as I ended up with blistered hands from hammering. When we went ( Friday) we had an anvil each to work on but when another of our group attended on Saturday she had to share an anvil as there were 45 people receiving tuition. She found that she was standing around too long and it was too crowded to be able to work well
翻译:总体来说,这次体验很不错。我们一行朋友参加了3小时的体验活动。每个人都制作了不同的作品,不仅学到了一些基本技能,还欣赏到了技艺精湛的铁匠们用金属进行创作的精彩表演。我个人觉得,如果工作室里能有一个成品展示,而不是仅仅放在商店区域,那就更好了。这样我们就可以把自己的作品和成品对比一下——我当时都忘了自己想要达到什么效果。另外,我希望他们能提供手套(或者更明确地建议自带手套),因为我锤击的时候手都磨出了水泡。我们周五去的时候,每个人都有一块铁砧可以操作。但是周六我们组里的另一个人去的时候,因为有45个人在学习,她不得不和别人共用一块铁砧。她觉得站着的时间太长,而且人太多,根本没法好好工作。
