This is a fun activity in Annfield Plain, Newcastle
Join this metal embossing class in Stanley and discover how to create a beautiful, functional piece of art for your home. You'll craft a bespoke metal hanger that’s perfect for keeping your keys or dog leads organised and easy to find.
Your workshop begins with a friendly introduction to the specialized tools and materials you'll be using. You'll start with a practice piece to get a feel for the process before moving on to your main project. You'll learn how to transfer a design onto the metal, gradually embossing it to create depth, texture, and intricate details. Whether you choose one of the provided Celtic knotwork patterns or bring your own inspiration, you'll be guided through every step of the craft.
Once your design is complete, you'll attach the embossed metal to the baseboard and learn how to apply an aged finish for a classic, professional look. To finish everything off, you'll add the hook to make your creation ready for use. This class is held in a cozy home studio, ensuring a warm atmosphere with plenty of individual support as you learn. To keep your energy up while you work, you'll also enjoy hot drinks and delicious cake.
