Handworks is back for 2026, and I’m lucky enough to be able to be presenting there this year. This should be a lot of fun.
Handworks 2026 will be on Fri-Sat Sep 4-5 at the Amana Colonies, IA. Christopher Schwarz and Mike Siemsen are the special presenters. Lord knows what they will be talking about, but it will be terrific.
As for yours truly, I’ve started planning out what I’ll be doing. I’ll be bringing a whole bunch of Japanese tools, of course, but this will be different from my past experiences. I’ve given talks and workshops that have ranged from 1 hour to a whole day, but Handworks will be more like an improv jam for the two days. Suggestions are more than welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you there! More information at the Handworks 2026 website.
