Johannes Bengtson Copmann

Johannes is the master blacksmith at the open air museum Den Gamle By in Denmark, where his main job is to preserve the blacksmithing craft and maintain the ironwork at the museum. With a combined background in both archaeology and blacksmithing, he is well rounded in the different periods of history, their designs and techniques. His greatest motivation is preserving the skills of the blacksmith, and passing those skills on to future generations, so they may both be used in preserving what we have, but also the possibility of them being used for new purposes.
