About

Do you have any decorative tins that you love but want to find a new purpose for? Learn how to transform those tin treasures into wearable art!

Learn about different types of decorative tins and how to safely cut them down and shape them for use in jewelry. You'll be using stencils, scissors, metal sheers, and metal punches to create shapes, a planisher to flatten, a drill press to create holes, and a dapping set to give the flat metal dimensionality.

Details

• Bring your own tin. You can find them in antique shops, thrift stores, and grocery stores. Tea and popcorn tins work great! You can also find them among used games and toys!
• Do not bring aluminum cans or other easily crushed metal. Avoid any tins where the design isn’t printed directly on the metal.
• Bring an apron and towels to dry your hands and metal.
