In this workshop Adam’s Forge is pleased to partner with Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center's Young Artist Playground to bring you a seasonal treat at a special price. This workshop will introduce you to some of the methods used in pierced metal work. Using light gauge copper, steel punches and small hammers, you’ll create your own copper votive holder. Topics covered include design considerations, including use of both positive and negative space, how to cut, dress and prep the metal to be worked as well as the principles of work hardening and annealing metal. If you’d like to bring your own design, it should fit within a rectangle that’s 2 ¾” x 7”. We’ll also have templates that you can use, or you can just wing it on the day!

About MACBETH: the Musical Comedy: You've read the famous story of greed and gore in Scotland—but do you know the catchy tunes? Our Macbeth, a tad confused, keeps spouting lines from Hamlet (much to the annoyance of the other characters), Lady Macbeth is obsessed with dry-cleaning the castle drapes, and King Duncan boasts that he invented plaid.
