A Brief History of Tinsmithing: In the early 1500's, the Spanish conquistadores, explored and conquered what is now the American Southwest. These early Spanish settlers imported tinsmithed objects for their own use. By the mid- nineteenth century, tin plate was regularly traded along the Santa Fe Trail and considered to be better than gold. Local Hispanics were fashioning tin, with brass and copper accents, into their own decorative and functional containers, candle sconces, kitchenware, mirrors, frames and other household items. Today, it is a dying art form. Only a few artisan's continue this beautiful craft. | ||
