Put a Lid on it

Put a Lid on it

September 25-26, 2021
Everyone needs someplace to hide those tiny, special objects. In this course we will create those hiding spaces while learning container and lid fabrication. Everyone will begin with their sheet of silver and choose to create a small box (under 2”) that is either round or rectangular. Lid demonstrations will include: hinges, friction fit, box clasp and solder set ups. Participants are encouraged to bring with them at least one special object to design their container for. We all have at least one, now you’ll have someplace to put it.

Basic understanding of metalsmithing is required; students should have previous experience with soldering, sawing, and filing.
