The Tidewater Blacksmith’s Guild is dedicated to preserving the craft of blacksmithing and increasing public awareness of the history of our craft, while at the same time demonstrating that in this automated machine world, things hand-made still exist and remain objects of art. The Tidewater Blacksmith’s Guild is a local member organization chartered under the Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America Inc. (ABANA), a non-profit organization.

We had an excellent weekend at the Whitehurst Buffington House. They had their Fall Festival on Saturday, and we had our September meeting there on Sunday. Joe Gentile did a nice demo on drawing out techniques. We have a busy season coming up with lots of events in the next weeks and months. Watch our events schedule and calendar. 🤓
