In Colonial America, punched tin was a favorite artform in rural homes used on lanterns, pie tins, cupboards, and more. In this workshop, we'll do it just as they did in the old days, using geometric patterns to update rustic designs & creating a modern piece worthy of display. This workshop will require a bit of elbow grease, but we promise the end result will be worth it!
