Blacksmiths Magic Festival Motto:-

"As Blacksmith artists, we have no boundaries to what we will use to achieve a piece of iron art, whether it be a hammer and anvil or a mig and laser cutter.

However, as tradesmen we have the utmost respect for the traditional methods and the origins of our craft.

We also understand the importance of keeping these things alive."
