2025 COURSEs - June to August

There are five simple steps to booking into a course with Wilkur Forge.

1. Choose a course, pick a date from the Course Calendar, then email this information to Wilkur Forge.
2. A place in the course will be reserved for you, subject to availability, and an application form will be emailed to you. If the course is booked out, alternative dates will be offered to you.
3. Fill in, sign and return the completed application form to Wilkur Forge. The information requested on the form helps Wilkur Forge determine if you are considering the right course for your skill level, among other matters. Depending on your specific interests, some customisation of the course you'd like to do may be possible. Only Wilkur Forge offers this.
4.  Subject to your acceptance into the course, a tax invoice for the amount due will be emailed to you for payment.
5. Upon receipt of your payment, a pre-course information pack will be emailed to you. This document explains some simple practice and exercises you can do before you participate in the course, which will help you get the most from your course.

A reminder email or text message will be sent to you ahead of the course asking you to confirm that you will be attending.

If you are not able to attend on the nominated date/s, please advise Wilkur Forge as soon as possible so your place may be offered to another person. 

For details on course cancellations, refunds and re-bookings please refer to Frequently Asked Questions.

A typical course timetable for a day at Wilkur Forge is noted below.

Morning tea is 15 minutes, taken mid-morning, at a natural stop in the activities.

Lunch is 20 minutes, taken at nominally 12:40pm. The nearest shop is 15 minutes away, hence the advice to bring your food and drinks with you.

Afternoon tea is usually not taken, but if you need a spell, take it when it suits you.

One Day Forge finishes at 4:00pm.

All other courses finish at 5:00pm.

On occasion, individuals may work beyond the nominated finish times, within reason, to complete a task.

As the weather is often too hot to forge in during the Summer months, Wilkur Forge's courses go into recess from when the weather starts to get hot until the conditions cool down somewhat.

As courses are ramped up, the Course Calendar will be updated.

To convey news on what is happening at Wilkur Forge in the meantime, and to provide you with a head start on courses for next year, Wilkur Forge emails occasional newsletters.
