What you’ll do in the class
On the first day of the course, there is a safety briefing, an introduction to blacksmithing tools and lighting the wrought fire. The first basic techniques are then demonstrated and then practiced by the course participants. After 2 hours of forging, there is a lunch break, after which another technique is shown. In principle, anyone can forge what they want and I support them with the necessary techniques.
On the second day, there will be a demonstration of further techniques, after which everyone will work on their projects using a combination of techniques.
Who is the class suitable for?
Beginners aged 14 to 99 years in good physical shape.

Details to remember
Schmiede im Hof
Born in Neustrelitz in 1977, I came to Hanover as a result of the search for a training place. In 1999, I was seized by metal fever, creating sculptures out of scrap metal. In 2004 I discovered the fascination of forging and have been passionately sharing it with my guests ever since.
