Background of the Silver Forge
The Silver Forge was established by foundation Silver in Motion, College of Silversmithing Schoonhoven, Schoonhoven and the Dutch Silver Museum. The Silver Forge gives silver smiths who have recently graduated the opportunity to develop themselves as entrepreneurs. But nowadays, you will not only see young smiths at work. Smiths who have been experts in their trade for years also work in the Silver Forge regularly. The visitors discover what it means to be a silversmith or a goldsmith. You smell, hear and see silver as soon as you step into the Silver Forge. Every day, smiths are creating something beautiful in the Silver Forge.
