Anvil's Ring • ABANA 2020

 

Anvil's Ring is co-curated by Rand Condell—a local blacksmith and member of the local arrangements committee for the ABANA 2020 Conference—and Todd DeGarmo—founding director of the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library—with production support . The exhibit features work by many of the blacksmiths presenting at the 2020 conference, which is being held at the Washington County Fairgrounds from June 3-6, 2020. 

The Artist-Blacksmith's Association of North America (ABANA) is dedicated to perpetuating the noble art of blacksmithing. A blacksmith is one who shapes and forges iron with hammer and anvil. ABANA encourages and facilitates the training of blacksmiths; disseminates information about sources of material and equipment; exposes the art of blacksmithing to the public; serves as a center of information about blacksmithing for the general public, architects, interior designers, and other interested parties.
