There are total 25 forgery workshops, 3 smithery training programs and 4 tool grinding programs for visitors. You can buy or order forged products at the project web-site.
PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED
In the early twentieth century, when mass production and metallurgy began to emerge, the smithery started to face difficulties. Our region’s territory is traditionally associated only with casting, but the low-numbered peoples of the North had developed smithery even before the Common Era. During the forging workshops and tours you get acquainted with the ancient craft, full of legends and images. This is how the problem of insufficient knowledge of one’s origins and national culture solved.

The Ob Smithery has its adherents – the work is being done not only with children, but with their mothers and fathers. Fascinating with a hammer and anvile those who study 3D-modelling and robotics at school is not easy, but we succeed in doing this. A travel to the forgery world usually takes from 40 minutes to 5 or more hours – with such tours and master classes we handle a problem of forgetting the traditional culture and domestic life.
Delving into the blacksmith's work is not only fascinating but also useful for psychological state, since forging is a stress-relieving process. Very often office employees come to us to «relieve» themselves, those who want to break free of everyday life and have a heart-to-heart talk with a forge-man.
