In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create an original pewter pendant from small found objects alongside skilled metal artist, Julie Carpenter. With her guidance, your hands-on experience will include pattern designing, mold making, casting, drilling, polishing, and patina application. In addition to your newfound love for metal casting, you will take home a shiny new handmade piece pf pewter art designed and crafted by you! Feel free to bring your own tiny objects to use in designing your piece. Julie will bring her big collection of small things to share with all students in this process.
About the Instructor: Julie Carpenter (@juliecarpenterart) has been instructing and sharing her knowledge in the art of metalworking since 2007.
