Me and my gf had a fantastic experience and recommended everyone to take 20 minutes to make a piece of art
I visited the area (West Ireland Farm Stay) with my nine-year-old son. We spent about 90 minutes with Pat, and at the end, he desperately wanted to be a blacksmith. Pat was so kind and such a great teacher for my high-energy boy. The moment my son stepped into the workshop, he calmed right down and was eager to learn – that was because Pat didn’t spend a ton of time lecturing to him; he just had him jump right in and start working on the metal. If I could write a book on how to teach children, this would be a prime example. If you are from the US, you understand how rare and important this type of teaching is. At the end of the session, my son had two metal pieces, which are now his prized possessions. He made me order hooks right away so he could hang them on his wall. He also had me look into what it would take to set up a forge in our backyard (in Chicago, no less). I am so grateful that he experienced this and has a new respect for this type of work and its importance in the region. Pat is absolutely fantastic – this experience is worth so much more than we paid.
Fantastic day. Patrick couldn’t have been more helpful, full of knowledge and great anecdotes. I finished up the day with a beautiful ornate poker and a couple of Celtic pendants. 10/10
We had the best day with Patrick! He is incredibly knowledgeable & passionate about his craft but also about people and life. He opened his home and forge to us as strangers but we left feeling like we made a lifelong friend. Thank you, Patrick!
We came across Patrick’s work at Glastonbury festival and purchased a stunning rams head hook, we were so impressed we ordered another one to match, your work is amazing and your energy and presence is 2nd to none ! Thankyou xx
I felt one of the most traditional things our family could do was participate in forging some metal in Ireland. My son has had an obsession with pounding metal since he was 3. We contacted Patrick at 9 Irons and had an unbelievable experience. We were able to forge all sorts of items including a 9 Irons amulet. Patrick is a natural teacher of children, absolutely fantastic and so kind! We each participated in creating wonderful memories to take home. Along the way we learned about Patrick, his love of blacksmithing and Ireland. In the end we were very happy with the craftsmanship Patrick taught our son and the time he took to show him how to create beauty from iron.
I’ve bought some things from Patrick over the years, the 9 Irons amulets in particular are so cool and make an awesome present! Patrick is a cool guy too..
