Gardner Museum — 28 Pearl St., Gardner, MA
Peter Erickson, Gardner’s last handwrought silversmith, returns for a special presentation in the museum’s replica silversmith shop, where he will demonstrate the traditional process of crafting a silver spoon using historic tools and techniques. Known for his signature rings, and decades of fine craftsmanship, Peter will share insights from a lifetime at the bench. He will be joined by his apprentice and successor, Erin Kiewel, offering a unique opportunity to see both tradition and continuity side by side as the craft passes into the next generation. Please note that seating is limited.
