The idea to share his approach was born while traveling. While Kees Klaassen was visiting blacksmith events around Europe, many people asked him how he creates his forged beings. Kees is known for his figures and detailed sculptures. Inspired by these questions, he teamed up with Patrick Beck to create an online course.
