Metalsmithing Workshop

Have you ever wondered how your favorite piece of jewelry was made?  Have you ever watched a metalsmith transform a piece of flat, ordinary metal into a beautiful object?  If so, you will really enjoy this, “hands on” workshop!

Members of the Wisconsin Metalsmiths will be on hand demonstrating their techniques and skills, and will teach you how to produce your own wearable items or useful objects of art.  Try your hand at transforming sheets of metal into something special, using hammers, pliers, stamps, torches, and more.  Each participant will complete a lovely forged pendant and either a cuff bracelet or a bookmark.

No previous metalsmithing skills are necessary.  

The workshop is limited to 15 people.  Participants must sign a consent form.
