5.0 based on 64 reviews
Wrought Iron Arts is a metal art school in Historic Downtown Largo Florida. The studio's mission is to create awareness on the lost Art of Blacksmithing by offering blacksmith and welding classes to students wanting to learn this wonderful art form and keep this art form alive for future generations. Robert Buck is a Metal Artist who creates works of Direct Metal Sculpture by commission as well as teaching Blacksmith and Welding Arts classes to students. His works of sculpture are on public display at the "Downtown Largo Outdoor Art Museum" located within the dining garden of the former Deli Diva Restaurant in Largo Florida as well as in private collections in the US and Canada. Rob studied art in college but didn't consider it a serious profession until taking a blacksmith course himself back in the late 1990's. Once he moved molten metal with his own hands aided only with a hammer, he was hooked. This became his life long passion. With most metal-arts classes today you're competing with 8, 10 or even more students for the time of the instructor. Discover the difference between the Blacksmith, Welding and Plasma cutting classes at Wrought Iron Arts vs. other blacksmith/metal arts classes. At Wrought Iron Arts; experienced master blacksmith artist Robert Buck guides you through a personalized (one or two person maximum) class where you get the attention that other metal art courses lack. All classes (blacksmith, welding, and plasma cutting) are offered 7 days a week year round and are 1 full day of instruction (about 6 hours)and $299 each for 1 student and $398 for 2 students and are all inclusive (No extra charges for tools and materials).

I told Rob I was a fan of the show and wanted to experience making my own blade. He patiently guided me through entire process and it was an awesome experience. I learned so much about the process of forging a blade from raw steel that I can't wait to return for my second blade. See the attached pictures of the blades we made that day.

We enjoyed Dracula room so much we signed up to do DaVinci the next day. Puzzles required more teamwork than other rooms we've done before which I really like. My husband who normally is more of a clue seeker than a puzzle solver especially enjoyed these rooms as they required some physical problem solving he is more adept at. Jordan, our Game Master, was very kind in letting us know we were on the right track when we weren't sure and gave us a nudge here and there without giving us a full blown clue, which we appreciated. These are the only rooms we didnt escape within the 60 minutes, but we had so much fun it didnt smart too much. Escape Room Extreme in Largo has moved to the top of our escape room experience list.

Having grown up in south Florida, I was thrilled to see flowers, plants and gardens reminiscent of my childhood home in one location. The many and varied paths, landscapes and habitats provided an array of sights and fragrances that brought back many memories. The cactus and succulent garden was particularly noteworthy, but the gardenia hedges, bromeliads, palms, and butterfly plants were equally interesting. There is a children’s trail with six activity stations, in addition to the wedding garden, spaces for special events and private parties, classes, and a great gift shop. This is a cooperative effort by Pinellas County and the University of Florida’s extension service.
