Make Your Own Forged Copper Star (Adults and Youth 9+ with a Registered Adult)

While learning some foldforming techniques, you'll create a 4-point star from one piece of copper. By folding copper, using hammers to forge it and heat to soften it, you can create a 3-dimensional form. When you open it up the last time, your star will appear. After applying a finish, you can enhance your star, giving it character with textures, wire, and beads.
