Ever wanted to try blacksmithing?

Tough enough? Crazy enough? Brave enough?

Book your slot at my blacksmith course in Ljubljana!

I’m self-learned blacksmith, it wasn’t in our family before. Someone needs to be the first, isn’t it so (: And approx. 15 years ago, when I’ve decided I actually want to become a blacksmith, I was searching for knowledge all over – through learning by doing, finding and reading books, internet videos and reaching out to other blacksmiths, willing to pay for any kind of knowledge. In my experience I realised there is too many secrets in our profession in our country, nobody wants to share their knowledge, fearing you will soon be better, that you will steal their ideas. This was especially common with the older blacksmiths (don’t be mistaken, I’ve made really good relationships with some of the younger ones, to whom I owe a lot of my knowledge). But in my opinion, not sharing knowledge is a big waste, since there is no blacksmithing school and all precious knowledge and vast experience of blacksmithing goes to waste. It’s hard to maintain a tradition if we won’t share it. That’s why I’ve decided to pass on my knowledge to anyone who willing to learn or try something new.

Quality is expensive, but it lasts. I give a lifetime guarantee on (a normal use) of my products which are made with materials I initially recommend.

What my students say

Matic

The course itself surprised me, despite the fact that I am wathcing many YouTube channels on the forging topic, I learned many new things. The course was performed perfectly, one on one, so that the master could dedicate himself to me hundred percent. Safety was provided with lectures and, of course, safety equipment. I definitely recommend the course to anyone who likes to create something with their own hands. You will not be disappointed.

I also took part in forging course with Tomaž and I can give only compliments. I was especially impressed by his professionalism and eagerness to help. The course is perfectly designed and organized. Tomaž is ready to share his rich knowledge and experience in this field and answer all my questions. I highly recommend it.
