Put a Lid On It with Lynette Andreasen!

This workshop is being held live and in-person at our Texas studio! Can't make the trip? Live online seats will be available at this link! This is one of Lynette Andreasen's most popular classes, and we're delighted that she's bringing it to The Makery! In this fabrication intensive, we will learn to build small metal containers with tension-fitted lids. Along the way, Lynette will cover die forming with a hydraulic press, scoring and bending for angular boxes, larger-scale soldering, tension-fit lid construction, and hollow construction. Will you make a pillbox, poison ring, or treasure box? The choice is yours! This is an intermediate to advanced skills workshop, and students must have solid foundational fabrication skills including soldering, sawing, filing, and finishing. Absolutely everything necessary to complete the project is provided in this workshop – all tools, materials, and equipment! Bring a pen and notebook for note-taking and eye magnification if required, but otherwise just come and have fun! PLUS: The entire workshop will be recorded in close-up high definition video, and all students receive 30 days access to the recordings on our virtual learning platform at no additional cost! A special word about materials fees in 2026: The cost of silver is extremely volatile and higher than we have ever seen it. Accordingly, materials fees will not be posted until two to three weeks before the workshop date, based on the then-spot price of silver. Where possible, we will make use of alternative metals to keep costs down. Information about taking workshops with us can be found at this link. Workshop fee (non-taxable): $585 Materials fee (taxable): TBD (taxable and payable in the workshop) Friday - Sunday August 14 - 16, 2026 9:30 am to 5:00 pm (central) daily
