Make your own copper or brass cuff with an impression of your design.
On January 24th from 3-6pm, 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.
