Punched Tin Ornament Workshop
A family-friendly hands-on-history experience! Have you ever wondered what people placed on their Christmas Trees in the 18th and 19th centuries (1700s-1800s)? Join us on Saturday, September 6th at 10:00AM, 12:00PM, or 2:00PM, to learn about the centuries-old art of tin smithing and ornament making! Enjoy a short presentation on tin smithing, see the tools used in this craft, and even view pieces from the Renfrew collections not usually on display! After, get some hands-on experience and learn how to decorate your own tin-plate ornament! Templates for stars, squares, and diamonds will be available, but feel free to design your own shape with the guidance of our workshop host! The $20 per person registration includes a presentation, collection viewing, and workshop component! Make a unique ornament you can take home and hang on your tree this holiday season!
