Worthington Bicentennial Arts Project (Tinsmith)
Basic details
Background
Sixth graders at Bluffsview Elementary School learned about the ancient craft of tinsmithing during the 2002-2003 school year as part of the school's Worthington Bicentennial Arts Project. A craftsperson visited the school, teaching the students about the role of tinsmiths in pioneer Ohio. Students then created their own modern interpretations of tinwork. The students' works were showcased at the school's Bicentennial Arts Open House May 1, 2003.
