Welcome to the International Wootz Society

The International Wootz Society is a guild for Wootz Smiths, supporting the craft and educating the public about the rich history and the quality of wootz. We do not teach smiths how to make wootz but do facilitate mentorship for members who make wootz.

IWS is a community resource for academics and researchers to gain valuable historical and metallurgical information about wootz steel. Additionally the IWS provides Journeyman and established Wootz smiths the opportunity to become members of our exclusive guild, which offers access to an international community of like minded individuals, awards & recognition, annual competitions and promotional support to help members achieve sales of their wootz projects.
