The five-day horn making class was held October 8 to 12, 2012 as part of the Conner Prairie Arms Making Workshop. Instructor Art DeCamp with the able assistance of Jim Pease showed ten participants in the class extensive horn work related lathe skills, plus horn heating and pressing skills. Each class member left with a completed banded Southern style powder horn with pinned tip. In addition, they also learned how to make their own mandrels for fitting bands, and shaping the horn at the butt and utilized molds to heat, press and shape horn accoutrements. Several flat horn plates for future use, and horn spoons were made during the class, also.
