We Are The Northwest Blacksmith Association! We are dedicated to education and the preservation of the art and craft of blacksmithing.

The N.W.B.A. is one of the oldest and largest organization of it kind. Started in 1979, we recently celebrated our thirtieth anniversary with a huge celebration and conference.

Conferences are our twice a year get-togethers usually held alternately in the North and South of our area. These are three-day events that bring together hundreds of blacksmiths from around Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia and afar. Three days of demonstrations, hands-on workshops and the camaraderie of folks who share a common interest. Tailgating, vendors, a gallery of ironwork, dinner and an auction just add to the excitement. With membership you have the opportunity to join in the fun and education.

Membership also brings you The Hot Iron News four times a year. The Hot Iron News is our award winning publication that will keep you informed of what's happening in The N.W.B.A, the Northwest, and in the world of blacksmithing.

In addition, membership allows you complete access to our extensive library of books, tapes and videos. There is no charge for borrowing from the library. You may also join in our other activities throughout the year.

Founded in 1979 The NWBA Is a [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT]Washington corporation and 501 (c) 6 non-profit trade association.[/FONT]
[SIZE=2]The Association is organized solely for educational purposes, including, but not limited to: encouraging and facilitating training programs and conferences to promote high standards for the art and craft of blacksmithing and related metal crafts; disseminating information about sources of equipment, literature and material related to the art and craft of blacksmithing and related crafts; exposing the public and interested groups to the art and craft of blacksmithing.[/SIZE]

Do you want photos with that?

Pictures to illustrate ourconference demonstrations, hands-on workshops, camaraderie, tailgating, vendors, gallery of ironwork, dinner, and auction. A cover from each of four qtrs of HIN, something representative of the library of books, tapes and videos?

I don't know, seems like they can cruise the website. Did you see I put it in the news? You can add what you like, of course.
