Families, both children and adults, learned how to make their own repujados, a traditional form of metal embossing, at the Silver City Museum Saturday afternoon. Instructors showed them how to emboss the metal from stencils, or using their own free-form designs, and how to cut and color them. Participants were able to take home their finished repujados.
