Give a piece of vintage flatware a beautiful new life with local jewelry maker and arts advocate Rebecca Rosenkrans in this ornament-making class.

Bring a special piece of metal or silver-plated flatware from home—including a family heirloom—or let Rebecca provide one for you. You’ll learn hands-on techniques including cutting, polishing, drilling, and safely using a drill press, polishing wheel, and grinder to transform vintage flatware into a charming angel ornament.

You’ll polish and shape the individual pieces, apply two clear coats for a beautiful finished look, and assemble nine pieces of flatware to create the angel’s head and wings. No prior experience is necessary; Rebecca will guide you through each step of the process.

Create a meaningful Christmas keepsake for yourself or a handmade gift for someone special. Bring multiple pieces if you’d like to make more than one! Rebecca will also have additional vintage flatware available for $10 each.
