In this 3-day class, you'll start with a flat sheet of metal and cut out various shapes with a pair of tin snips. You'll then fold, roll, bend, and solder these shaped into cookie cutters, cups, tankards, coffee pots, candle holders, canteens, wall sconces and many other various objects.

You'll learn tool selection and maintenance. How to cut with tinsnips, how to rivet, how to solder, how to bend, shape and form sheet metal and hopefully have a lot of fun.

Depending on the size and shape of the pieces, most students finish and take home 8 to 12 items that they made this week.
