Resources for Affiliates

Local affiliate groups are the heart and soul of the blacksmithing community and we work to support registered ABANA affiliate groups with a monthly email newsletter containing event information, marketing tips, news from other affiliates, and more. We also provide funding in the form of grants to be used for educational purposes.

The following tools may be helpful for your affiliate:

Members of the Great Basin Blacksmith Guild working on the National Curriculum with Mark Aspery, ABANA National Curriculum Instructor.

Planning a conference or hammer-in? Send us the details and we’ll promote it on our socials or website.
