Regular Meetings
The Guild meets every Monday night from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM and on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Kinder Farm Park in Millersville Maryland, USA.
Visitors are always welcome to observe, ask questions, and learn from our smiths! Come in any time we're open, we love to have guests.Dues
Annual dues for regular club members are $45 payable to the Treasurer in January of each year. Dues cover use of the club tools and the forge at Kinder Farm Park. They also pay for coal and our insurance. Metal is provided by the guild for small projects. We encourage members to bring in their own metal for larger projects or specialized work.
