Come make your own authentic copper Moscow mule mug! Unlike mass-produced mugs that are copper plated or painted, this mug will be made of solid copper, with actual hammer marks in the surface, made by you.
Students will get to experience both coppersmithing and blacksmithing, leaving with their own unique mug that is entirely made by hand.
During this 2 day course, copper will be shaped to form the vessel, and the handle will be made by forging steel, using a coke-fueled fire and hammers. Students will be introduced to both metals, and the joinery techniques of both riveting and soldering to connect the two.
This course is fitting for both complete beginners and those who have taken any of our Coppersmithing or Blacksmithing workshops.
Class runs from 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday with a 1h lunch. All materials, safety equipment, coffee and tea will be provided. Lunch is available in town / an indoor lunch area with a microwave and fridge is provided on site if you bring your own food. Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. See you there!
COST: $450.00 (+ HST + eventbrite registration fee)
