 This is a 1-day class is specifically designed for the entry and intermediate-level powder horn maker and/or those seeking remedial instruction. Build your very own personalized powder horn while you learn an overview of powder horn history and detailed time-proven fundamentals of contemporary and traditional powder horn making.

 This year's project is a traditional powder horn (circa 1740-1830) with a recessed throat, integral strap ring, and flat base plug. Each student will build from a choice of unique pre-fabricated kits consisting of partially-prepared horn, base plug blank, and all pieces required for completion. A brief introduction to common engraving techniques is included. Students will leave class with a finished engraved powder horn made by their own hand.

 LUNCH, COFFEE, AND SNACKS INCLUDED!  Bring your own non-alcoholic drinks and any personal protective equipment. Wear shop-appropriate clothing. DO NOT bring your own tools.

 Class begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. Doors open at 7:30 at the NMLRA Education Building on Maxine Moss Dr. (Dewberry Rd.), Friendship, IN.  We anticipate being finished in time to make it to dinner at a reasonable hour.

 Price: $145.00
