This engaging one-day workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore the art of coppersmithing through the technique of sinking copper.
Designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike, this hands-on session provides an introduction to metalworking, where participants will learn how to shape and manipulate metal using hammers and traditional methods.
