Mud Puddle Pottery is hosting a “Chip and Dip – Tray & Bowl Set” coppersmithing workshop on April 6, 2024 from 10am – 3pm.
This workshop will led by Ben Caldwell. Previous workshops led by Caldwell have been very popular and previous students made a special request for another workshop.
The cost of the workshop is $310 and includes all materials and use of tools.
The participants will create a gorgeous “Chip and Dip” set in copper, which is so versatile and can be arranged in many ways, or used as individual pieces. The copper tray is 12″ wide and the bowl is over 4″ wide, and makes a lovely presentation on the table. It is a great value, and Caldwell will teach you step-by-step how to create this Chip and Dip set, which is similar to a set that he retails for over $600.
The workshop will consist of cutting, hammering and shaping, working to form, buffing and polishing, all with hands-on instruction.
You can bring a lunch or check out some nearby places.
