A family-friendly hands-on-history experience!
Saturday, September 6th at 10:00AM, 12:00PM, or 2:00PM
Have you ever wondered what people placed on their Christmas Trees in the 18th and 19th centuries (1700s-1800s)? Join us to learn about the centuries-old art of tin smithing and ornament making! Enjoy a short presentation on tin smithing, see the tools used in this craft, and even view pieces from the Renfrew collections not usually on display! After, get some hands-on experience and learn how to decorate your own tin-plate ornament! Templates for stars, squares, and diamonds will be available, but feel free to design your own shape with the guidance of our workshop host!
The $20 per person registration includes a presentation, collection viewing, and workshop component! Make a unique ornament you can take home and hang on your tree this holiday season! Each class is limited to 15 participants.
Registration is per person/attendee (ages 5 and up). This is a family-friendly event, so all ages are welcome, with workshop participation available for attendees ages 5 and up. Parent/guardian supervision is needed for participants 10 and under. We look forward to hosting you for this exciting workshop to prepare for the holiday season!
