LongshipTrading Company
A gathering of makers & craftspeople
From the heat of the forge to the edge of the carving blade. Independent craftspeople, living traditions and work with a story — gathered under one banner.
Three businesses. One shared banner.
Meet the three businesses aboard the Longship: Midgard Magic, Timeless Forge and Battle Ready Academy. From carved wood and forged metal to the craft of performance, each brings its own skills, identity and story to our collective.
Woodcraft & carving
Bespoke woodcraft with character. Midgard Magic brings carved details, personalised keepsakes and handmade pieces to life, inspired by stories, heritage and the people who use them.
Blacksmithing & metalwork
Shaped by heat, hammer and hand. Timeless Forge brings traditional blacksmithing to the collective, creating metalwork with purpose, lasting character and a connection to the past.
Stage combat & performance
The craft of bringing action to life. Battle Ready Academy focuses on stage combat, movement and performance, helping people develop their skills and tell convincing stories through action.
