Flames, heat, chinking anvils and the smell of coal ... Using brawn to deform the glowing material with hammer blows!
Everyone imagines the work of a blacksmith that way and that's exactly how it is today.
One of the oldest handicrafts is forging and so blacksmiths could previously be found in almost every village and on every continent. Today the profession is gradually dying out and the practice of this classic craft is becoming increasingly rare.
As part of this forging course, you will learn various workflow and basic techniques.
This includes, for example, the detection of correct temper colors, guiding the hammer and the correct handling of the forging tools.
With an experienced and trained blacksmith, you will develop a feeling for the steel and get to know various working and design techniques.
Different workpieces such as bottle openers, grill forks, simple knives and much more can be forged. There are no limits to creativity here.
No special previous knowledge is required for this course, but a good physical condition is recommended.
Protective gloves, safety glasses, ear protection and aprons are provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own.
