Silversmith - Colonial Marketplace Museum - Colonial Day - Life of a Colonial Child - Colonial America


		Hi, my name is Adam Dickens. I am a Silversmith. I make silver objects such as a bowl, a fork or spoon, and cups. Everyday I have to get my fire going to melt the silver. I make a platter. I have to either put the silver into a mold or hammer it into a shape. After that I would cool the silver by putting it into a pot of cool water. After it cooled, I would hammer in details on the surface with an etching tool.
