Team Events in the Forge: Teamwork on a Whole New Level
Are you looking for a unique and memorable way to strengthen your team’s unity? A team event in the forge offers an exciting and creative experience that takes your team far from the usual office life into a completely new world. Hands-on work in the forge allows each participant to step out of their comfort zone, learn new skills, and feel real team spirit.
The event begins under the guidance of a professional blacksmith, who introduces the ancient art of forging and gives the necessary instructions for beginners. After the introduction, practical tasks begin, where each team member gets a hammer and iron to make their very own forged nail – a simple but historically important item that gives insight into the basics of forging.
The next stage takes teamwork to a completely new level: we try two-man forging, where one team member is the striker and the other holds the workpiece and shows the striking point. This task requires good communication and precision, offering a fun and collaborative challenge.
The most exciting part of the event is making a Damascus steel billet with a forging press. Participants get to try the famous patterned/Damascus steel technique and feel the power of the press, creating a unique steel block that can be shaped into a beautiful form or left for later further processing.
And that’s not all 😉 There’s always room for new and exciting ideas – and we’re happy to make them happen.
