Columbia Fire & Iron is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run nonprofit organization based in Spokane, WA whose mission is to cultivate and serve our growing community of blacksmiths and metal artists in Central and Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana, by promoting cooperation, collaboration, and camaraderie within the community, providing opportunities for members to improve their metal crafts skills, building public appreciation of the metal crafts, and engaging in outreach activities to introduce new people to the metal crafts.
