Provided below are valuable links to find affiliates in your own area or how to start an affiliate. Every two months, the Affiliate Liaison Letter is posted as a communication tool between ABANA and the affiliates. ABANA provides grants for affiliates to bring demonstrators to area meets and conferences or other blacksmithing-related events that would promote the art and craft of blacksmithing. You can download the official application below!
