Spoons in a Day!
Spoons are surprisingly easy to make! Learn to fabricate a simple spoon using wire and sheet metal in one day. Joy will show you various hammer textures that can be added to give character to your flatware as you cut and dome sheet metal to create the spoon bowl and solder it onto the handle. You will be able to choose to work in sterling silver and or another base metal, which will be available for purchase as needed. In several hours, each student will hone metals skills and have their own custom-made spoon to take home!
Please be advised: Registration for onsite classes closes one week before the class start date.
