Program Description
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. Walk away from the workshop with something that is uniquely yours!
No previous metalsmithing skills are necessary. Everything will be provided for you to experience the magic of manipulating metal. The workshop is limited to 15 people. Participants must be age 16 and older and must sign a consent form.
The program is made possible through funding from the Friends of the Oregon Library.
