Abstract
This article aims to analyze some experiences between enslaved and freed people in the iron transformation works in the Iron Mines, during the 19th century. Highlighting the participation of these craftsmen in an area of great concentration of blacksmiths, part of the experiences developed by them in Itabira do Mato Dentro to identify the horizon of freedom that they lived from their craft. Therefore, through the analysis of inventories, nominative lists and provincial censuses of 1833 and 1872, we were able to point out the characteristics of these blacksmiths (color, age, legal status, marital status, domicile in which they lived, family groups, among other data), as well as its location in the city space. These data together allowed the perception of the relationships created by these blacksmiths around their craft; learning relationships, service delivery relationships, between whites, Creoles, and Africans; free, freed and enslaved. Relationships forged by working with iron that allowed such craftsmen an autonomy of work and experiences of freedom built even before the achievement of manumission.
