The DUO Centre blacksmith workshop hosted the first group, since they are involved in the Handicraft Academy project. Blacksmith, Franc Franko from Puconci, demonstrated the forging technique and the basic theoretical knowledge, after which pupils themselves took the hammer and forged the iron while it was still hot. Together they took a look around the premises of DUO Centre where they viewed Pomurje handicraft products. Thus, pupils learned various types of handicraft (past and present forms of this living craft) in one place and left fully satisfied with »cvek« in their pockets which they had earned through hard work. (Cvek literally means »a nail« but is also a colloquialism for »a fail grade in school«) (text and photo: Ivan Kuhar, DUO Centre)
