Copper Bowls for Beginners

Come and make a copper bowl with metalworker Melissa Montague!

Learn how to make a copper bowl using heat, a hammer and a sandbag, under guidance from professional metalworker Melissa Montague.

This workshop is an introduction to working with metal to create small decorative metal bowls. You will learn how to work with aluminium and copper which both have unique qualities. With guidance from Melissa, you will learn how to texture sheet metal using hammers and punches and then form the metal to create your own bowl to take away.
