250 Years of Blacksmithing in America
Vista Forge will once again host the CBA Annual Spring Conference! Come watch and get hands training on with world-class demonstrators like Nigel Barnett, Bette Barnett, Walter Sorrells, Serhii Polub, Elizabeth Belz, Jeffrey Funk, and Anton Yakushev. Watch them tackle complex joinery, bladesmithing, finishing, and sculptural designs that push the boundaries of what metal can do. Take part in the team forging a sculpture to exemplify the conference theme - "250 Years of Blacksmithing in America," learn more about metal finishing with Bette Barnett, or forge your own Colonial Hacksaw with Gary Brown. There will be many classes for younger smiths and beginners as well!
