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.

We’ll begin with an introduction to gourds: what they are, how they grow, and how they’ve been traditionally used for vessels, tools, and art. Before any weaving begins, we’ll scrub and clean our gourds together, connecting to the full process from raw material to finished piece. Participants will then learn the basics of pine needle weaving and how to use it to embellish and transform a gourd.

RSVP for Best of the Bay Business Referral Exchange!

Wed, Sep 2, 2:45 PM
From Best of the Bay Business Referral Exchange
5.0

We meet almost every Wednesday of the year; if we are "dark" for any reason (usually limited to Christmas and New Year's Day weeks, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and sometimes the 4th of July week), you will be told as a response to your RSVP. We recently started meeting in person the 1st Wednesday of each month in downtown Oakland at an "Oakstop" location at 1721 Broadway #201 (street level; doors face sidewalk on Broadway). Metered on street parking (you can pre-pay before 8am, which is when charging for time actually begins; most close-by metered spaces are limited to 60 minutes though it might be possible to extend time via a parking app). There are also parking lots in the area. On all other Wednesdays each month we meet online via Zoom. When you RSVP for a meeting after your request to meet with us has been approved, or at the time of your initial request, please include a short description of your business and also include your contact information in case we need to reach you before the meeting. You can attend our chapter twice as a visitor (this Meetup group seeks to find visitors to our group as a first step toward formally joining Best of the Bay) before submitting a formal application to join. Please also let us know how many guests you want to bring and tell us something about what is/are their professions.
