Welcome Ghosts, Witches and Jack o’Lanterns!  It is that time of year when creatives get a little spooky.

What:

Participants will make a copper witch, ghost or jack o’lantern necklace or ornament out of copper with brass accents.   Participants will learn how to cut, file, texture and solder metal. Options will include stamping a word or date if desired. All materials and tools will be provided. No experience required.

We will provide all the necessary supplies, including copper, brass accents, tools, and instructions. No experience is necessary, so everyone is welcome.

Here’s what to expect:

• We’ll start using shears, hammers and shaping tools to create your jewelry necklace or ornament.
• Once your piece is shaped, we’ll use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
