The Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA) is dedicated to perpetuating the noble art of blacksmithing. A blacksmith is one who shapes and forges iron with hammer and anvil. ABANA encourages and facilitates the training of blacksmiths; disseminates information about sources of material and equipment; exposes the art of blacksmithing to the public; serves as a center of information about blacksmithing for the general public, architects, interior designers, and other interested parties.

If you are interested in learning about the blacksmith’s craft, Northwest Ohio Blacksmiths (NOB) is the right place. Their goal is to keep the art of blacksmithing alive and pass those skills on to future generations.
