Student showcase: metal embossed coasters with Breathing Space

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

I was back at Breathing Space in Witton Gilbert today for the second of my summer workshops with them. I always love teaching at Breathing Space, it’s such a wonderful venue. There were quite a few familiar faces today, who had been on previous workshops with me, both here and further afield, as well as some new people.

I was teaching metal embossing today, and a couple of people worked on their own designs, which I love! Everyone took so well to the craft, have a look through the gallery above to see everyone’s beautiful creations. Well done, everyone!
