The Western Reserve Artist Blacksmith Association (WRABA) is hosting its 2025 Conference at Century Village in Burton, Ohio. The two-day event, to be held June 28-29, features live blacksmithing demonstrations, tool and item auctions, tailgate sales, and meals provided for attendees.
This year’s featured demonstrator is Anna Koplik, a journeyman blacksmith known for her expertise in utensil making as well as in other pieces, such as what she’s demonstrating on Sunday: hammer forging. The conference begins at 9 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
Camping is available on-site. More information and registration can be found at https://wraba.com/
