About
The Northeast Blacksmith's Association is a non-profit group dedicated to the study, practice and preservation of traditional and non-traditional metalworking techniques primarily focusing on forging and other forms of smithing. Our main group meets are twice a year at the Ashokan Center in the beautiful Catskill mountains. We typically meet in late April and late September. Our events usually center around a single guest lecturer who shows examples of his/her work and demonstrates his/her personal process and techniques. There is also a beginners workshop for those just starting out who would like to learn basic fire-tending and forging skills in a safe, well supervised setting. Children as young as 10 are welcome to participate when accompanied by an adult chaperone.
The seminar typically runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, but there are many registration options available, ranging from two nights lodging in either bunkhouse, private rooms, or camping, and six hearty meals, to single day passes with demonstration only. Advance registration and payment is required! You may view the Ashokan Center facility HERE. Note: Please leave your pets at home. They are not welcome on campus property!
