Edial Dekker – Gidsy founder, Head of Mobile GetYour
“Schmiede is an escape in time, a magical moment suspended in an amazing, unforgettable space – hidden, almost secret, in the heart of rural Austria, but that leaves traces, like the stored salt, and images that stay with you long after you leave.”
Maxence Grugier – Rewilding Cultures / Makery
“I was impressed by the intensity of the Schmiede participants as I watched them work on their projects. Clearly this was a very serious and committed group of artists. But, the most impressive thing about Schmiede was the atmosphere of sharing, generosity, creativity and craftsmanship that surrounded me.”
