forumferrum.com is testimony of the friendship between Austrian and Czech blacksmiths.


It is the result of the project "Borderless Blacksmith's Treasures" - a cross-border project of the association Schmiedezentrum Ybbsitz in cooperation with the Czech communities of Brtnice and Náměšť nad Oslavou. Within the framework of a project funded by Interreg, members of the association , blacksmiths, representatives from politics and tourism as well as other interested parties developed the concept for the digital platform "forumferrum.com" together with the agency P&R. 

Presenting forged works digitally and introducing their creators

On "forumferrum.com" we bring the works digitally before the curtain, in order to grant a boundless access to this treasure to all those interested in forging, be it educational institutions, the artists and craftsmen themselves as well as future generations.
