Make Your Own Coppy Penny Holder & Pewter Circle
Best for ages 5 & up
Shape and decorate copper using metal punches, wooden avils and hammers, and wooden dapping blocks. Use sand-casting techniques to turn a silver-like pewter cube into a circle.
Length: About 45 minutes for 20 or fewer children and adults; varies according to age group
Cost: $9/person; one teacher per group free; adults who have done this program before are free; $350 minimum (you may be able to be piggy-backed before or after another group for a smaller minimum). Or $400/3-4 hours for as many participants as we can accomodate in a quicker version requiring a great deal of active participation from you and your staff. $1/mile travelling fee. Fees include rental of equipment and use of materials. You get to keep the copper but not the pewter.
