Ibnu Pratomo
Founder
Empu Ibnu Pratomo began forging at the age of twelve in his family workshop and has been at the anvil for more than four decades.
Journey
He founded Pijar after seeing fewer and fewer young people who knew the sound of a hammer on an anvil. For him, the workshop is the most honest classroom.
Philosophy
Forging is a conversation between heat, timing, and patience.
“What we pass on is not an object, but a way of working.”
