Is your garden or landscape lacking some special accents? This Tower Hill Botanic Garden workshop, co-sponsored by the Worcester Center for Crafts, could be the answer as you hammer on copper and brass sheet and wire to craft some delightful, eye-catching leaves and flowers. Use these organic designs to create hooks, vines and other hardware to decorate your walls, trellises, railings and downspouts. Back home, you will be able to apply your new cutting, forging, riveting and soldering skills to fashion an unlimited variety of garden embellishments. Students need to bring their own leather work gloves, eye safety protection, tape measure, Sharpie marker and a bag lunch. All other tools and materials will be provided. John Stevens of Dancing Hammer Forge will instruct, and the class will take place in the Metals Studio at the Worcester Center for Crafts, 25 Sagamore Road in Worcester. Visit www.worcester.edu/wcc for directions. THBG members $130, non-members $140. Register at www.towerhillbg.org, or call 508-869-6111.
