Memphis, Tennessee – Don't worry about a ding . . . because metalsmiths from across  the country will be here to solder, sharpen, remove dents, re-tin copper cookware and  repair garden furniture and statuaries. Repairs are done by talented craftsmen and women from around the country who come to Memphis to volunteer their time and  talents. All proceeds benefit the Metal Museum. Estimates are free and visitors with  repair receipts receive free admission to the Museum during the event.

Saturday is Family Fun Day with activities for everyone, including metals crafts and demonstrations for kids. And you'll want to stick around for a full evening of events, including the opening reception and gallery talk for our Master Metalsmith exhibition, a taste of our world famous stew, and our annual Art Auction. Featuring work by over 40 artists from all over the country and followed by music from DJ Witnesse, it’s an evening of entertainment and art that you won’t want to miss!
