Join us for a hands-on metalsmithing workshop where you’ll create a beautiful copper rose from start to finish..

This beginner-friendly class introduces the fundamentals of metalworking in a relaxed, creative environment. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn to shape, texture, and finish metal while crafting a rose that will never wilt.

In this workshop, you’ll:

  • Cut and shape flower petals using shears and snips
  • Add unique texture with hammers and forming tools
  • Twist multiple wires together to create a sturdy stem
  • Apply patina to give your rose its final character
  • Leave with a handcrafted copper rose to treasure or gift

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your creativity. All tools and materials are provided.

Brandon Harrell holds a BFA from ETSU, and an MFA from Bowling Green State University both focused on jewelry and metalsmithing. She has instructed at Toledo Museum of Art, The Idea Factory in Columbus, Ohio, and other galleries around the country. "When I watched others demo this craft in school, I felt like this was not just a skill to be learned, but magic that I desired the ability to do myself." says Brandon.

Registration fee includes materials and shop fees. Lunch is on your own. Refund/Cancellation Policy: There will be a fee of $30.00 for any cancellations one week prior to the course start date. No exceptions.
