Are YOU ready to do something different and fun? Join us for a fun and exciting copper Santa making workshop; just in time for the holidays.
What:
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of copper bowl making, from shaping the metal to hammering and polishing it to a shine. You’ll also have the opportunity to get creative and design your own unique Santa bowl.
We will provide all the necessary supplies, including copper sheets, tools, and instructions. No experience is necessary, so everyone is welcome.
Here’s what to expect:
We’ll start using hammers and shaping tools to create your bowl/trivet.
Once your bowl is shaped, we’ll use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
Finally, we’ll polish your bowl to a beautiful shine.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a beautiful and functional copper bowl/trivet that you can use hold jewlery, keys, or simply display as a work of art.
Cost:
$55 per person
