Blacksmithing: An ancient art form alive in Jersey

Blacksmithing is a trade which has been around for thousands of years and was once considered a staple of every town.

From Ancient Times to the Medieval Period, the need of a blacksmith has evolved. They would have made weapons and armour but today it is now used for more decorative and restorative purposes.
