Metal Melting & Shaping for Kids Workshop

This unique mini workshop will add activities to the popular metal melting for kids events.  Liquid tin will be poured into a mold, but after cooling and being removed from the mold, the tin will be run through a hand cranked rolling mill built over 130 years ago.  Like a penny smashing machine, the rolling mill will lengthen the tin and provide a surface that names, initials, and/or designs can be stamped into.

$5 per participant (does not include museum admission). No pre-registration required. Inquire at admissions desk to purchase.
