In addition to your newfound love for metal casting, you will take home a collection of 4-6 shiny new handmade pewter charms designed and crafted by you!</p> <p>Feel free to bring your own small sentimental pieces to replicate in pewter or choose to use trinkets from Julie’s big collection of small things.</p> <p>My personal pewter charm collection includes a tiny car from my mom’s sweet sixteen charm bracelet, a textured shell from the Gulf of Mexico, a classic Barbie high heel shoe, my son's last molar, and fruits from the plastic fruit cluster earrings that I wore nearly every day in fifth grade. Let’s have fun making charms together!</p> <p>&lt;3 Julie</p> <p><strong><img src="https://www.redmountainmakers.org/resources/Pictures/Instructors/Jule%20Carpenter.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="230" height="230" align="left" style="margin: 5px;">About the Instructor:&nbsp;</strong>Julie Carpenter (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliecarpenterart/" target="_blank">@juliecarpenterart</a>) has been instructing and sharing her knowledge in the art of metalworking since 2007. She has taught classes and held camps on the fundamentals of oxygen/acetylene (gas) welding, MIG (wire) welding, and pewter jewelry casting to people between the ages of 8 and 85. Julie believes that metal working is for everyone and that experiencing firsthand how metals melt and fuse together is the best beginning.</p> <p><strong>What to wear:</strong> At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately.
