Use tinplate and simple punches to make a punched-tin heart ornament. The arrangement of the dots, dashes, and curves of the punches into patterns gives dimension, and the dangling disks add motion to the reflective tin to create a beautiful decoration. The design of this heart-shaped ornament was inspired by historic Norwegian metalwork, specifically by elements of an antique cheese mold and an antique silver brooch.
The listed class time includes three Zoom sessions (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM CT, 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM CT, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT), as well as time on your own practicing the technique and making the ornaments.
Supplies: A kit of tools and supplies for making three ornaments is included in the cost of enrollment (a $45 value). You’ll need to provide a hammer, a smooth piece of four-inch square or larger piece of scrap wood for backup, and a Sharpie marker. You'll also need a computer, laptop, or tablet with a camera and mic as well as a fast, reliable internet connection.
