Shell Forming Workshop Kit (Used)

These kits are in mint condition, and all hammers and stakes will be freshly polished. Two of the forming hammers are from Betty’s workshops - the LH1 & LH4.5, both are no longer being manufactured. Speaking of Betty Helen Longhi, she used many portions of these kits when we spent years on the road teaching together. It’s a little bit of history. So, as you order a kit, I will polish up the hammers and stakes before we ship it.
Now the deets.
