D-ski Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 WagonMaster, The Mid-Atlantic Smiths Association is hosting its Annual Metalsmithng Conference in Easton, on Maryland's Eastern Shore the weekend of 12-13 September. This would be an opportunity for your friend to meet blacksmiths from the Delmarva Peninsula. Details should be on the MASA home page which UNICORN FORGE posted above. Also, there is a blacksmith club in the Salisbury MD area. They meet at the Furnace Town Historic Site, on Rt 12 between Salisbury and Snow Hill. They have an annual Hammer-In in March. They are the Furnace Town Blacksmithing Guild.Furnace Town Heritage Museum - Blacksmith Shop - Snow Hill, MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
