Cookie Cutters and Other Small Tin Projects

Traditional Crafts

Catherine Latané

In November, the village tinsmith would have been busy making holiday bakeware. Now you, too, can use the pliable and versatile material to craft unique and useful household objects. Make your own one-of-a-kind tin cookie cutters for your holiday baking, as well as other simple tin projects including tree ornaments, flour scoops and candle sconces. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn traditional techniques for cutting, shaping and soldering tinplate. No experience is necessary, just your inclination to enjoy a centuries-old tradition.

Making it happen:

When should I enroll?
We can't hold classes without students! Decisions regarding course cancellations (as related to minimum enrollment) are made three weeks before the class starts--so if you've got a course in mind, plan ahead and sign up at least three weeks in advance! That way we'll know you're coming, courses are more likely to meet minimum enrollment numbers, and then they'll actually take place.
Also watch for the words "nearly full" next to course dates. When that notation appears it means there are only one or two spots left--so sign up soon!
Do you take last minute registrations?
Of course! Although it's important that courses meet minimum enrollment three weeks before their scheduled start dates, we know that life doesn't always allow for prior planning. As long as there are still spots left in a course we're happy to accept your registration last minute.
When will new course dates be posted?
New course dates are posted both in the spring and fall to coordinate with our course catalog release dates. All the new dates are opened for enrollment on the same day and at the same time, so that everyone gets a fair crack at a spot in the courses they're interested in. As that time rolls around we announce when the new dates will "go live" in our e-newsletter. (sign up here!)
