    In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create several unique pewter charms, cast from tiny objects that you love!

    Under the guidance of skilled metal artist, Julie Carpenter, your hands-on experience will include pattern designing, mold making, casting, drilling, polishing, and patina application. In addition to your newfound love for metal casting, you will take home 4-6 shiny new handmade pieces of pewter art designed and crafted by you! The holidays will be here before you know it, and these are great for gifting!

    Feel free to bring your own small sentimental things to replicate in pewter or choose to use pieces from Julie’s collection.

    About the Instructor: Julie Carpenter (@juliecarpenterart) has been instructing and sharing her knowledge in the art of metalworking since 2007. She has taught classes and held camps on the fundamentals of oxygen/acetylene (gas) welding, MIG (wire) welding, and pewter jewelry casting to people between the ages of 8 and 85. Julie believes that metal working is for everyone and that experiencing firsthand how metals melt and fuse together is the best beginning.

    What to wear: At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Additional protective gear will be provided as needed.
