Cast Your Metal RBG Dissent Collar Workshop

Every collar has a story……come and cast yours.

International Women’s Month has us honoring and celebrating many women from around the globe.  In this workshop, we are remembering Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her history breaking accomplishments here, in the US, and  internationally.

Create your design (or choose one from the collection), carve into a cuttlebone mold and pour lead-free pewter to make your dissent collar sculpture, necklace, brooch, bolo tie, hat pin or what-have-you?! Ages 10+.  No experience necessary.  This workshop will be in the Casket Arts Factory (not on the WOW bus).

“You know, the standard robe is made for a man because it has a place for the shirt to show, and the tie,” Ruth Bader Ginsburg said. “So Sandra Day O’Connor and I thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe something typical of a woman. So I have many, many collars.”  RBG began to be selective with her collar choice for the day as to convey a subtle meaning, and, as we like to think, about her political communication with her jabot choices.
