SOUPer Spoons
Spoons are surprisingly easy to make! Learn to fabricate a simple spoon using wire and sheet metal. Joy will show various hammer textures that can be added to give character to flatware. Then, students will cut and dome sheet metal to create the spoon bowl and solder it onto the handle. Students will work in bronze as well as sterling silver. In several hours, each student will hone metals skills and have their own custom-made spoon to take home!
