Men, women, persons of all ages, professionals and hobbyists are invited to join The Guild of Metalsmiths. The Guild of Metalsmiths exists to educate it's members, and the community at large, about metalworking in general and blacksmithing in particular. This includes all forms of metalsmithing from traditional blacksmithing to contemporary art forms. The arts and trades of our members include, but are not limited to, general blacksmithing, sculpture, tinsmithing, coppersmithing, furniture making and architectural wrought iron. The Guild accomplishes this purpose by holding six membership meetings a year on the second Wednesday of every other month starting in February of each year.
