My Journey as a Blacksmith - Diane Vernon

Diane lives locally and has recreated herself as a blacksmith and glass artist following a career as nurse and midwife!

It turns out that blacksmithing has been in Di’s family for generations, though this only came to light recently.

Di will tell us about this and about her work as a blacksmith, from her experience at college in Hereford to being part of the team that got gold at RHS Chatsworth 2019, with ten of her tall garden stakes.
