The Athens Forge, a member of the Alabama Forge Council (www.alaforge.org), is a group of both amateur and professional individuals dedicated to preserving and promoting the knowledge and skills of the blacksmithing craft.

 

We have 93-year-old master blacksmiths and teenage beginners in our group, so there is a place for everyone. 

 

You can watch videos of some of our past meetings on YouTube at Athens Forge AFC.

 

We welcome visitors to all of our monthly meetings.

 

We can be contacted at athensforgegroup@gmail.com
