Pewter Charm Casting Workshop

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: mold making, casting, drilling, patina application, and polishing. In addition to your newfound love for metal casting, you will take home a collection of 4-6 shiny new handmade pewter charms designed and crafted by you!

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

My personal pewter charm collection includes a tiny car from my mom’s sweet sixteen charm bracelet, a textured shell from the Gulf of Mexico, a classic Barbie high heel shoe, my son's last molar, and fruits from the plastic fruit cluster earrings that I wore nearly every day in fifth grade. Let’s have fun making charms together!

Julie believes that metal working is for everyone and that experiencing firsthand how metals melt and fuse together is the best beginning.
