Native American Indians living in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan discovered outcroppings of a very pure form of
copper ore, the most pure in the world. They forged tools
from the copper to fit their life needs.
The workshops at Miskwabik / Ed Gray Studio will follow
the same ancient methods. Workshop participants will form
a copper bowl by using primitive tools. The copper bowl
will be annealed by fire until the forming process is completed.
The bowl can then be embellished with beads, and/or found
objects.
Class sizes are limited and on a "first come - first
served" basis. All classes start promptly at designated
times. For more information on times, class availability
or class description, please contact
