Come and join artist, designer and creative director Susan Bradley for this tin embossing workshop. You’ll learn how to create beautiful small creations from thin gauge metal that you can cut and emboss by hand. You can make them into small artworks you can frame for your home, or you’ll be able to make them into hanging ornaments which catch the light beautifully.

Susan will guide you in a relaxed and fun way to create something special, beautiful and handmade by you. You’ll get to slow down, be creative and mindful, and learn something new.

All materials and equipment will be provided for you to create a set of 6 to 8 tin individual small works. You can then mount them onto card ready to frame, or you’ll be able to thread them into a cotton hanger – your choice.

No previous experience required. (Suitable for over 16’s only)
