Rogers, of Rogers Metals Studio, will have class participants make a copper pendant or badge that can be worn, using the ancient technique of repoussé. The class will begin by creating a two-dimensional design that will be transferred to flat copper. Then participants will learn to use punches and hammers to bring their piece into a third dimension. This technique was used to create the Statue of Liberty and is the same method used by prehistoric Americans to form copper panels like the copper artifact that will be used as a teaching tool in the classroom.

This workshop is for participants 14 years old and above. There is no charge for this program but sign up is necessary as space is limited. The workshop is made possible through a grant from the Jackson County Arts Council.
