Chill Zone Activity —  Picture This: Embossed Tin Frames

When

Where

Join us for a hands-on art-making session inspired by the timeless craft of tin embossing. Visitors will create their own decorative embossed frame using simple metalworking techniques to press, pattern, and texture tin into intricate designs. Perfect for displaying a favorite photograph or small artwork, each handmade frame becomes both a creative project and a personal keepsake. Drawing inspiration from folk art traditions and photographic portrait frames, participants will leave with a unique piece ready to take home. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.

This event is free and open to the public.
