"Tinsmithing: The Knack of the Knock" class at Landis Valley
Using patterns and techniques of the tinsmiths from the 1800s, students will learn to bead, form, fold, pierce, and solder tin to create useful objects, such as cups, wall sconces, cookie cutters, and pierced panels. Advanced students may make items such as coffee pots, and lanterns. Also covered will be the history of tinsmithing, pattern making, and design.
Jeff Leister has been working with tin since 1980, creating pierced tin panels for various uses. He has taught classes at Landis Valley's Summer Institute, Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, WV, and Cedar Lake in Ripley, WV. Jeff is the resident tinsmith at the Carroll County Farm Museum in Westminster, MD, where he also teaches tinsmithing and helps young people to carry on the traditional art and become apprentices. Most of Jeff's Tinsmithing skills are dedicated to the 1800's, where he strives to craft authentic tinware pieces using tinsmith tools of that time period, which he also collects and restores. Jeff has demonstrated his authentic crafts at Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum, Montpelier Mansion in Laurel, MD, at the 1869 Conference in Harrisburg, PA, the West Virginia Folk Festival in Glenville, WV, and the Carroll County Farm Museum in Westminster, MD.
Class is part of Landis Valley's 2018 Summer Institute.
