Kids workshop: Dog tag jewellery making

Next date: Thursday, 16 January 2025 | 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Channel your inner rebel and create tough, adventure-ready pieces straight out of a post-apocalyptic world!

Under the guide of Silversmith Jemica Ostrofski, learn how to design and fabricate custom textured dog tags using recycled aluminium. The basic metalsmithing techniques of mark making will be explored using various hammers, letter stamps, number stamps and other tools.

Take home a key ring, or a dog tag style necklace to punk up your style with a one-of-a-kind piece!

This workshop requires parents/guardians to support the creative process for children under 10 years old. Cost $5. Bookings required.
