Trip to Abana 2014

Often we find ourselves reminiscing about the fantastic experience we had at the ABANA Conference, and trip there. Visiting Washington National Cathedral, Albert Paley's show at the Corcoran- it was truly an amazing trip! At Abana they had ten demonstration tents with smiths from around the globe, as well as opportunities to sit in on artist talks, a hands-on workshops in drawing or forging, among many other things to occupy your time. Here's a snapshot of our experience…
