Metal embossed key / dog lead hanger workshop

This workshop can be booked on demand for a group of 2 to 4 people in my workshop – please use the button at the bottom of this page to request your date. Alternatively, please drop me a line through my contact page.

For larger groups, such as art and craft groups, I can also host this workshop at your own venue. Find out more about group workshops here.

On this workshop we will create a metal embossed design that will decorate a metal hanger. The metal hanger will be 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.

I have Celtic knotwork designs that you can choose from, or you can bring your own design. The finished hanger size is 13cm x 13cm, so an image a cm or two smaller than these dimensions will work well.

All materials are provided.

About the workshop space:
The workshop takes place at my home workshop just outside Stanley, County Durham. It is a small workshop, so workshop classes are also small, which means you will receive plenty of individual attention. This workshop will need at least two people booked on it to go ahead.

Please note that my home workshop is accessed by stairs.

Hot drinks and cake will be served during the workshop, please let me know of any dietary requirements when you book.
