Are YOU ready to do something different and fun? Join us for a fun and exciting copper bowl making workshop.

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 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.
• Once your bowl is shaped, we’ll use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
• Then we will solder a copper base and handles that you create.
• 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 that you can use hold jewlery, keys, or simply display as a work of art.
