More Information on this Workshop
This workshop will teach students the basic skills and aesthetic concepts required to create a hammered copper lamp in the iconic Arts & Crafts style. Joe will cover everything from the historical influences that shape the style to the practical nitty-gritty of hammering out parts and riveting them together. Students will be exposed to the nuances of coppersmithing in this important early 20th century aesthetic movement. A thoughtfully crafted copper lamp is both sculpture and a family heirloom to be cherished for generations.
