The California Blacksmith Association events are an opportunity to learn new skills, meet new smiths and contribute back to the blacksmithing community.

The California Blacksmith Association fulfills its primary function as a non-profit educational organization by sponsoring a number of ongoing blacksmithing events and workshops. We strive to keep the costs of attending low to achieve maximum participation. Our events are usually held at a fairgrounds, museum or other public facility, but often they are held in the shop of a member. As with all other CBA activities, for insurance reasons, you must be a current CBA member to attend.
