Meet the Master Cooper's, along with me, who work in the Cooper Shop at Sauder Village near Archbold Ohio ~  Through their guidance, I have learned this incredible craft/art of Coopering.

The English surname Cooper is a descriptive name that was given to people in the middle ages who made wooden vessels such as barrels, tubs, buckets, casks, and vats.

Here I'm sitting in the shop at the Village talking with guests!
