About the Cape Breton Blacksmiths Association

The members of the CBBA have established this association and site to promote and further the craft of blacksmithing through education and presentation. You will find dates of meetings and hammer-ins and contact information on our site. Feel free to join our organization and support our craft. We are a registered affiliate of the Artist Blacksmith’s Association of North America ( ABANA ) and a registered non-profit society in the province of Nova Scotia. Beginners are welcome !

We Are Volunteers

The members of the CBBA that maintain this site do so graciously on a volunteer basis. We depend on generous donations from supporters to cover the costs of maintaining the site and promoting the craft of Blacksmithing. If you wish to support our efforts please consider sending us a donation. We are happy to accept gifts of goods and services as well. Thank you for the support!
