Join us for the opportunity to hear from Preston Jones, a Journeyman Silversmith with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the world's largest outdoor living history museum. With expert craftsmanship rooted in 18th-century traditions, Preston brings to life the artistry and historical significance of early American silversmithing. Learn about the tools, techniques, and stories that shaped a trade essential to the colonial era, as practiced today in the heart of Virginia’s restored capital.
This engaging talk will offer a glimpse into the mission of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation: “that the future may learn from the past.” Hosted at Copper Fox Distillery, the evening promises a fascinating blend of history, craftsmanship, and community.
