In the past, Zreče and its countryside were filled with many small blacksmitheries. However, nowadays blacksmithing is much less present as the handicraft. In 2007, Ignac Zajc Jr. gave an initiative to unite a once-smaller artisan workshop of Ivan Šrekl together with the forging farm of his father, the well-known blacksmith master in Zreče, Ignac Zajc.

Šrekl craft workshop + Zajc forging farm = Šrekl-Zajc Blacksmithery

After the machines and tools of the Šrekl's blacksmithery were dismantled and placed in the Zajc's blacksmithery in Dobrovlje, a useful workshop was created with a museum collection of blacksmithing-technical heritage.
