Foil Embossing (Open Age Sessions)

Mexico is renowned for its vibrant folk-art traditions—rich with colour, symbolism, and heartfelt expression. One of the most striking forms is repujado, or foil embossing, where soft metals are pressed and engraved to create intricate, shimmering designs.

In this hands-on one-hour workshop, participants will explore the art of Mexican-inspired foil embossing to create their own luminous repujado. Drawing on traditional motifs such as hearts, suns, stars, animals and birds, each person will emboss their design into metal foil and embellish it with layers of colour, texture, and personal meaning. Whether inspired by hopes, blessings, or memories, each artwork becomes a small but powerful talisman—ready to hang in a special place or offer as a heartfelt gift.
