I'd sure look forward to some progress pics, a video or two myself. We just got to learn from an East German blacksmith and being able to watch and learn about the different style of work was very profitable. I'd really like to see how you address basic techniques and processes, it's just been driven home folk do the same things differently.

Hi Dancho!

 

What is gonna be the language of this symposium? It looks very interesting.

I tried to search the place in Google Map. Is it Lichiovo (Rokamezö) near Kushnytsya or something else in Uzhgorod?

Either way it is very close to me, so maybe I would go there. Is it possible yet to apply for it? Any fees or whatsoever?

 

Bests:

Hi Gergely!
Yes, Lisichevo is 6 km from Kushnitsa. I would be glad. If you come. No fees this year. The language is Ukrainian and Russian but some of us speak English. write me e.mail or phone and I explain the details.

Yes,  The landscape is 1361 m high.    Mtn. Kuk. At the the end of the symposium we made a Ukraine national symbol -- the trident (which is also a tool originally) and then finished it and put on the top of the mountain.  This is important for us these days.
