Since 1977, the Northeast Blacksmiths Association has been offering opportunities to experience first-hand the traditional craft of forging hot iron into useful or artistic items. Semi-annual "Hammer-Ins" at the Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, NY provide a multi-level approach to give both beginners and experienced smiths the instruction and inspiration to improve their skills and confidence.
|
Our next event is the Fall Hammer-In, September 23-25, 2022 featuring Leonid Karelshtyn. He plans to work on a variety of decorative elements and methods of joinery with tenons and collars, showing process and tooling. As the weekend progresses, these elements will be combined and assembled into a chair of modern design. See more photos of Leonid’s work on his Facebook page.
Something for every skill level and ability!
