Tin Punching Workshop

Plantation Agriculture Museum
4815 AR Hwy 161 South, Scott, AR

Meeting Place: Museum

Admission: $25.00

Tin punching is a traditional American metalworking technique that was used for everyday items. As time was inexpensive and easy to work with, tin punching offered a cost-effective way for many families to decorate their homes. The punched holes allowed light and air to pass through the metal, making punched tin not only decorative, but also functional on objects from lanterns to pie safes. Plantation Agriculture Museum is offering the opportunity to try this traditional skill yourself at a tin punching workshop. Tin and punches will be provided, but please bring your own hammer. Registration is required as class size is limited. For more information or to register, please contact the museum.
