Pewter cuttlefish casting at Great Work Mine

Join artist Anna Pope for a singular workshop exploring the age-old craft of pewter casting using cuttlefish moulds. Held at Great Work Mine in Ashton — a site steeped in Cornwall's mining heritage — this free session offers a rare chance to try a technique that dates back centuries. Cuttlefish casting uses the natural texture of dried cuttlebone to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pewter pieces, and no prior experience is needed to take part. Whether you're a curious beginner or a practising maker, it's a genuine hands-on encounter with traditional craft in an extraordinary setting.
