Workshop
We are holding a tin plate production workshop.
A tin plate with a diameter of about 11 cm is patterned using various mallets and stamps, and processed into small plates and vessels.
The finished plate can be used for various purposes such as plates, cups, accessory trays, and squeaks.
Because it is a soft metal, you can easily process metal, so please enjoy handmade by yourself.
-About tin-
Tin, which is known as the most expensive metal next to gold and silver, is hard to oxidize and has antibacterial properties, so it keeps the surface hygienic. Among the metals, it is a relatively soft metal with little color change and has the property of maintaining a beautiful luster for a long period of time.
It is speculated that tin tools were used in the ancient Egyptian dynasty around 1500 BC, and even in Japan, tin treasures are stored in Shosoin.
In addition, it has long been used in sake sets and tea sets, as it has been said that "water in a tin bowl does not spoil" and "the unpleasant taste of sake is removed and it becomes delicious".
