The CBA has taken blacksmith education online, not just for the COVID-19 pandemic but to answer a need in this digital age. From an expanded online magazine with more content and pictures to high caliber demonstrations from champions of the blacksmithing world the CBA has updated our offerings to fulfil your needs.

Look at the Events page drop-down menu (above) to find several Zoom tutorials that are being offered at the moment. Some tutorials are being offered as a series, and others as a stand-alone class. Make sure to check back for current offerings as we are continually adding to the list.
Forge-Welded Tong Class

It is with great sadness and remorse that the CBA and the Spring Conference Committee at Vista Forge are announcing the cancellation of the 2021 CBA Spring Conference.
Our team has been working long and hard to make this event happen. But we have to follow state and county guidelines as to when we can open up and how many people we can have in a group. If we can’t open up to where we can host at least 50% capacity in our buildings then the event is unworkable. With the current Covid-19 numbers, it looks extremely unlikely that will happen by mid April.
We regret this course of action but the health and safety of our members is our primary concern. New events will be planned once it is safe to do so.
Live to forge another day!
