Embossed Metal Hanger Workshop

Fancy learning a new skill? Then come along to this great workshop with Carrie, learning the traditional art of metal embossing.

This fun workshop will teach you the skills to create an embossed design on a metal hanger, suitable for hanging lightweight items like keys or dog leads.

We’ll go through the process of metal embossing: applying your chosen design to the metal, learning how to gradually emboss the metal to the desired depth, and adding texture and details.

We’ll then attach the metal to the base board of the hanger and we’ll make the metal look aged to finish off the design. Finally we’ll add the hook.

You can create your own design or use templates that will be provided. The finished hanger size is 13cm x 13cm, so an image a cm or two smaller than these dimensions will work well.

Suitable for beginners and those who have had a go at metal embossing before.

Keep your finished piece all to yourself, or maybe give as a special gift. The workshop would also make a great gift for Mother’s Day or another special occasion.

Limited places – these workshops sold out really quickly last time so be quick, booking essential

Tickets £40, price includes tuition, all materials and a lovely cuppa.
