40th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

Traditional artists like cowboy bootmakers, silversmiths, and the like, are most often working alone in their workshops, creating beautiful things, ruminating on their work and life, and thinking about the future of their craft. They’re full of stories of highs and lows, as well as ideas on how to keep their practices and their craft alive. Join cowboy bootmaker Morgan Buckert, and some of her maker pals, for stories about why they love what they do, and some anecdotes from their workrooms, which are sure to bring some smiles to your face, and maybe a tear to your eye.
