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.
Great course for beginners, the course instructor was really cool and competent, brought the knowledge across well....
