This is a fun activity in Sheffield
Step into the world of creative metalsmithing with this hands-on workshop in Sheffield. You’ll use folding, cutting, hammering, and heat to transform simple sheets of copper and brass into textured, organic forms like leaves -- or let your imagination guide you to something entirely your own!
Don't worry if you've never tried metalsmithing before -- this session is beginner-friendly, and open to all ages (children must be supervised). It’s a chance to explore metal in a relaxed environment, experiment with form and texture, and leave with a unique creation to treasure.
**What to expect:**
- Learn the basics of fold forming, a sculptural metalsmithing process.
- Use thin sheets of copper and brass to fold, cut, and shape textured designs.
- Add colour and depth by oxidising your finished piece.
- Choose to turn your design into jewellery with earring hooks, or a decoration with ribbon.
- A fun, hands-on creative experience, perfect for beginners!
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own finished metal artwork and the satisfaction of having tried something completely new.
