About the event
Workshop Overview
Join us Late September for Forged & Rooted, a five-day immersive knife-making workshop hosted at Redwing Ranch in Gardner, Colorado. This rustic, unplugged experience is led by multi-skilled craftsman and outdoorsman Will Kraemer of Kraemer Metalworks.
Whether you're looking to build practical craft skills, reconnect with hands-on work, or step into a slower rhythm, this workshop offers the chance to forge your own blade from steel, surrounded by rivers, ridgelines, and good company.
Participants will:
Learn the complete process of knife-making: forging, shaping, grinding, heat-treating, and finishing
Work directly with Will in a small-group setting
