Living Craft. Blacksmithing

The art of forging metal is one of the most ancient. For the Abkhazians, a forge is not only a workshop where tools and other objects were made. It has long been revered as a sacred place, and blacksmiths enjoyed special respect and influence in society. Today, the forge continues to be the center for preserving the craft and historical heritage. What did the dagger of the Apsil warrior look like, why are there so many references to iron in the Nart Epos, and what attracts modern youth to blacksmithing - watch the latest issue of "Living Craft".
