About Us

We welcome anyone interested in the craft of blacksmithing, who are interested in practising, learning and sharing the knowledge of blacksmithing, in all its forms. Please join us in promoting the art of the blacksmith and educating the public about our craft.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
