Enter the world of master craftsmanship, where Christoph Steidl Porenta (Zlatarna Zlato Runo) preserves one of the most demanding and, sadly, dying techniques – chiseling.

This is a relief technique for working metal that is deeply rooted in our heritage (remember the famous situla from Vače).

The master, who trained at the German abbey of Münsterschwarzach, will demonstrate, with the assistance of Sara Mermal and Eva Kušter, how the flat surface of metal is transformed into a three-dimensional work of art under the blows of a hammer and chisel.
