About us
Welcome to Forging Connections At The Anvil Collective. We started this group to bring together local people who share an interest in blacksmithing, whether you have been hammering steel for years or have only ever watched a few videos on the craft. Our goal is to provide a space where we can talk shop, share techniques, and learn from one another in a relaxed environment.
We believe that the best way to improve is by working alongside others who are just as passionate about the trade. We host regular meetups where we discuss tools, troubleshoot projects, and occasionally gather to visit local workshops or exhibitions. If you are looking for a community of makers to trade advice with or just want to spend time around people who appreciate the sound of an anvil, we would love to have you join us.
