I just found out about an event on 5 January 2023 put on by the 92NY in collaboration with #ISAWNYU: a hands-on workshop by Amy Haskins entitled "Forged Jewelry inspired by Ritual and Memory: The Ancient Balkans and Beyond", which "will combine a discussion, practice and execution of processes involved in the making of metal jewelry and objects in the current exhibition."
