Tin Punching Workshop

Tin punching is a traditional American metalworking technique that was used for everyday items. As tin 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.

Tin and punches will be provided, but please bring your own hammer.

Class size is limited; registration is required by April 4, 2026.
