Sara Dahmen is an award-winning writer and entrepreneur, as well as the only female coppersmith in America manufacturing, restoring, and building copper cookware in her Wisconsin copper shop. Sara is traditionally trained in an old-school apprenticeship to create and refurbish vintage or modern cookware. She single-handedly runs her company, House Copper & Cookware, using tools from the 1800s as well as modern power tools, and bases all her new designs on lost American cookware shapes, sourcing all materials from the USA. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart, Food & Wine, House Beautiful, on PBS, the TODAY Show and many more, and in collaboration with Colonial Williamsburg and Duluth Trading Company. Sara’s non-fiction book on the history, science, use and care of cookware, Copper, Iron, and Clay: A Smith’s Journey released in April 2020 (William Morrow/Harper Collins). She has published over 100 articles as a contributing editor for various trade magazines, has written for Edible and Root + Bone, among others, and spoke at TEDx Rapid City. Her historical fiction Flats Junction series (Promontory Press, Inc.) has been critically recognized and is currently in development for television. Prior to undertaking a career in metalsmithing and novel writing, Sara, a Marquette University graduate, was a print, radio and television producer with a Milwaukee advertising company, coordinating productions for clients such as CITGO, MasterCraft Boats, Subway and the Tourism Departments of domestic cities and international countries. She then founded and ran a successful Silver-Anvil award-winning event company in Milwaukee for ten years. Sara is also a screenplay writer and content creator, hired by producers to write original scripts or create her own. She is also in development on several of her scripts with producing executives across Canada and the UK. When not writing or smithing, Sara believes in gardening and living as old school as possible on her mini-farm. She can often be found hosting hands-on painting, canning, medicine-growing-and-making, or book club gatherings at her home, checking on the hives, building additional garden beds for ever more vegetable experiments, or stopping in to work with the master tinsmith of her apprenticeship. Sara lives in the countryside of Wisconsin with her three young children and her husband of 17 years.
