The Make Your Own Tin Can Collage workshop is a four-hour art class at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro where participants design and assemble an eight-by-ten-inch mixed-media piece using plywood, small nails, and colorful recycled metal. If you have a creative teenager aged fifteen or older, this class offers a safe, low-tech introduction to working with metal. The ninety-one dollar registration fee covers all necessary tools and supplies, though you are welcome to bring your own vintage tins from home to personalize your design. This workshop is an excellent weekend option for parents looking to spend quality one-on-one time with their high schoolers, or for anyone wanting a quiet afternoon of focused crafting. You will leave the studio with a finished, ready-to-hang piece of art and the basic skills to continue the hobby at home.
