Join Old Salem’s Domestic Skills team for an exclusive baking demonstration with our historical wood-fired oven, and get hands-on to learn the technique of making traditional Moravian sugar cake.

Pewter Spoon Making
May 16th | 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
$100 | Ages 16+
Back by popular demand! Join the Old Salem metalworkers to create your very own pewter spoon. Pewter was a common material for dining ware in the 18th century and along with tin smithing, made up a large portion of the metalwork occurring in early Salem. Come participate in the magic of casting and learn the skills of finishing fine pewterware, just as they did in Salem in the 1700’s. Participants will use traditional tools and methods to create their own keepsake pewter spoon to take home!
