Mission statement

The ABANA mission statement reads:

We understand that a blacksmith is one who shapes and forges iron with hammer and anvil. The artist-
blacksmith does this so as to unite the functional with the aesthetic, realizing that the two are
inseparable. We the members of the Artist-Blacksmiths' Association of North America do join in our resolve
to perpetuate the noble art of blacksmithing. With hammer and anvil, we will forge for mankind a richer
life. We will preserve a meaningful bond with the past. We will serve the needs of the present, and we will
forge a bridge to the future. Function and creativity is our purpose. Our task is great and so is our joy.^[1]

History

The Artist-Blacksmith's Association of North America was formed in 1973 with twenty-seven members.^[2] There are now 4000 members.

Publications

ABANA publishes two magazines: The Hammer's Blow and The Anvil's Ring.^[3]
