Space is limited to 12.** In this 3-day workshop, you will experience the art of crafting a blade from scratch using minimal power tools and equipment that can be easily acquired or made at home. We take an accessible approach to the craft, proving that you don't need a crutch of big, expensive tools to create a high-quality blade. This class is the perfect first taste of your metalworking journey, providing a foundational education that you can take in whatever direction you choose. Together, we will heat up steel, hammer it into shape, and refine it using hand tools. You will fashion a custom handle and craft a leather sheath for your new blade. By the end of the course, your knife will be ready to strap to your belt and be at your side for a lifetime of foraging adventures. * **No Experience Necessary:** While there are a lot of transferable skills from other crafts, beginners are completely welcome. * **Hard Work:** Please come prepared to work hard, sweat a little, and use your hands. * **All-Inclusive Crafting:** You will leave with a completed, functional knife, handle, and leather sheath. **Where & When** 10 am-6 pm Sept 5-7 This workshop is 3 days, 8 hours a day - you must attend all 3 days Near Berkeley - exact meetup info provided with registration Plan to bring your own lunch/snacks.
