Thanks to the stonemason company Provasnek for the visit. Four masters and three generations traveling with valued, interested employees. From the bright late autumn weather Johann Köhldorfer leads us into the underground passage system at the Urlas. The function of this special craft is still being explored. What is understandable by means of research, Robert Grabner shows and tells us based on a sketch at the tumuli on the Urlas. The next stop is for the workshop of the unique art foundry in Austria. Karl and Paul Loderer explain the emergence of forms and sculptures. The highlight will be an art casting. Strengthened with volcano land sausage, Styrian horseradish and LavaBräu beer, as it is for real craftsmen, the path to the ball mill leads to the Christmas exhibition of “Schlicht Barock” (Simply Baroque). “Waldheimat” the title, oak leaves wreath very big and music box with Christmas motif very small, fine! Further down the hill, Sigi Meister explains the manual riddling technique at the riddle rack, calling this concentrated work his daily meditation. This refers to the sparkling wine refinement according to the Champagner method. And a little further along, the brownies from the lake house have lit the fire bowl and prepared the aperitif. We enjoy the mood of the late afternoon on the water. Here the circle closes, through the glass windows shows the set table, arranged by Andreas Stern of Schlicht Baroque, this is craft!
