Hallo ihr wunderbaren Menschen, ich werde dieses Jahr meine Feldschmiede aufgeben, ich muß gesundheitlich ein wenig kürzer treten. Wer Interesse an einer kompletten kleinen mobilen Schmiede hat bitte bei mir melden!
Veranstaltungstermine 2026 können evtl. Übernommen werden.
Wenn es passt würde ich auch noch einige Termine mitmachen und ein wenig Wissen weitergeben.

Whitesmiths and brownsmiths represent specialized branches of historical metalworking, distinct from the more commonly known blacksmiths. While blacksmiths worked primarily with iron and steel through high-temperature forging, whitesmiths focused on finishing and shaping lighter metals like tin, pewter, and sometimes silver. Their work emphasized precision and polish, often involving filing, lathe-turning, and soldering rather than heavy hammering. Brownsmiths, meanwhile, specialized in brass and copper, metals prized for their corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, using techniques suited to their malleability and thermal properties.

These trades flourished in Europe from the late medieval period through the 19th century, often serving domestic, decorative, and industrial needs. Whitesmiths produced items like candlesticks, utensils, and lanterns, while brownsmiths crafted vessels, fittings, and ornate hardware. Their workshops were typically located in urban centers where demand for refined metal goods was high. Though industrialization eventually absorbed many of their functions, the legacy of these crafts survives in artisanal metalwork and restoration trades today.
