Join local jewelry maker Sarah Madeline for a time of creativity and connection in this Intro to Metal Stamping workshop! Sarah will share her personal relationship with stamping—how she uses this process as a way to connect with words, moments, and meaning. You’ll have the chance to reflect on a word or short phrase that resonates with you, then learn the basics of metal stamping to create personalized keychains. Metal stamping is a hands-on, slightly physical craft that involves hammering steel stamps into metal. Guests will work at wooden stumps on the ground and use a hammer to create each letter and design. Because of this, the workshop has a rhythmic hammering sound throughout and involves standing, movement, and light arm strength. Your finished piece can adorn your keys, purse, water bottle, or be a gift for someone special!
