In conjunction with the Museum’s newest special exhibit, SOLDIER | ARTIST: Trench Art in World War II, this program allows you to create your own punched copper luminary, joining the long legacy of making trench art, a type of folk art created by soldiers dating back to the 1800s. Using inspiration from WWII trench art, we will remake a copper sheet into a one-of-a-kind luminary. Let your fun shine as we transform simple materials into a glowing tribute to history and making with special guest and metal artist Rachel Shimpock!
