Make your own copper or brass cuff with an impression of your design.
On January 18th from 2-5pm, our resident metalsmith, Erin Austin, will guide you through creating cuff blanks using a guillotine shear, refining the edges with files and sandpaper, annealing the metal to create malleability, creating paper patterns, impressing the patterns onto metal with a rolling mill, forming your piece into a cuff, and applying patina to bring your design to life.
All supplies included.
Students must be 18 years or older.
To use the studio you must:
- Sign a Liability Waiver

We also highly suggest wearing natural fibers like cotton, hemp, etc. Synthetic fibers contain plastic that may melt onto your skin if they come into contact with heat!
Please note: We do NOT have bathrooms available for customer/student use. Please plan accordingly. Businesses that offer restrooms to customers (you must purchase something to use their restrooms) in the immediate area include: Madrone, and The Speakeasy in the evening and Madrone and Old Town Coffee and Chocolates during the day. The Eureka Visitor Center, near the gazebo, also has day time bathrooms available for your use (no purchase necessary).
