Michael Sittner

Michael Sittner, born in 1979, received his certificate of completed apprenticeship as metal designer in 1999. Since then, he has been active in several smithies and metalworking shops.
In 2003, he successfully applied as apprentice with us. Since 2007 he is a freelance metal designer but fortunately remained active in shop.

Meanwhile, Michael also gives forging demonstations on miscellaneous occasions but most often assists us with our demonstrations.

He mainly occupies himself with the construction of gate and fence assemblies, parapets, railings, window grates etc., but under his brand SI, he creates knifes, swords, items of daily use and delicate jewellery, and offers them for sale in our shop and on market places.
