Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA) promotes blacksmithing as both a profession and a hobby.
About us
The Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA) is a community of blacksmiths, artisans, and enthusiasts dedicated to preserving and advancing blacksmithing as both a profession and a hobby. We provide opportunities for individuals and local affiliate organizations to further their blacksmithing education, strengthen their skills, and hone their craft. Showcasing the rich and vibrant work of modern smiths while providing historical context is central to our mission as we work to increase awareness of the art and craft amongst design professionals, architects, and the public. ABANA publishes two quarterly magazines, "The Anvil's Ring" filled with articles on traditional and contemporary ironwork, artist interviews, critiques, and more and "The Hammer's Blow" which offers how-to articles and instruction on the ABANA National Curriculum for blacksmiths and instructors.
