Copper Cloak Pin Class at the Roots Rendezvous

Handmade Copper Cloak Pin Workshop with Dug North

Step back in time and learn to craft a traditional copper cloak pin — a fastener used throughout Europe since the Iron Age. 

In this hands-on workshop, you will cut, bend, hammer, shape, and finish copper using simple hand tools. By the end of the class, you'll leave with a fully functional handcrafted cloak pin.

No prior metalworking experience is required.
