Student showcase: illuminated metal embossed monograms at South Pelaw

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

These illuminated metal embossed monograms were made over two evenings at South Pelaw Community Hub. I took everyone through creating their own design and getting started on the embossing on the first evening, and then everyone finished their pieces on the second.

It was a great couple of sessions with a really lovely group, and everyone made beautiful pieces. Fantastic work, all of you, and I look forward to coming back and seeing you all again next year.
