NMABA Members, We look forward to hosting Cameron Stoke for a demonstration this August.

Demonstration shall be focused on the details of how to make a Heat Treat Furnace presented by Cameron Stoker. This will be a demonstration only meeting.

Please bring something to contribute to the community potluck as well as a work of art in your signature style to donate to the Iron in the Hat Raffle.

We will also be bringing back our "trade items" at each of our demonstration meetings, which is if they choose to participate member‘s/non-members can bring an item they have crafted based on what we choose to trade each meeting (separate from Iron in the Hat).
Item to be determined, so everyone that an item to contribute can leave with a different item made by a fellow member.

Should you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Thank you, NMABA Board

The New Mexico Artist Blacksmith Association (NMABA) skill workshops started in November 2024 and NMABA will continue to host blacksmithing workshops focusing on skill development and improvement. The major focus will be working through the Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America (ABANA) National Curriculum Level 1 (https://abana.org/education/national-curriculum/level-i/). The National Curriculum offers a step-by-step progression through fundamental blacksmithing skills.
The September Skill Workshop ABANA offering will be 1.14 Hand-held Fuller and Bottom Fuller (Both 3/8").
We do NOT have a ABANA certified instructor to lead us through this process, even though we have members working on becoming certified who will be coaching participants through the progression.
Note the fee for the class is going to be $40 (ABANA curriculum or non-ABANA participation). Prices can change based on materials and support, please understand and let us know if you have any suggestions and/or input.
Please RSVP by emailing the NMABA club at nm.artist.blacksmiths@gmail.com so we can be prepared to support attendance, detailing whether your interest is in the ABANA curriculum or a beginner‘s blacksmithing lesson. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the first Saturday of the month. Check the event calendar section for more details and directions.
