This winter I and Yevgeniy Yermak spent the whole week in Huub Sensen’s blacksmiths school in Holland. Naturally, we had a lot to learn from a person, who had traveled all over the world, studying different secrets and methods of forging.

The exotic and picturesque blacksmiths art festival in Sudak also couldn’t have been hold without support and participation of masters prom all part of Ukraine. Читать далее...
