Student showcase: metal embossed Christmas tree ornaments at South Pelaw

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

What a great morning I’ve had at Holyoake Community Centre in South Pelaw, showing everyone how to make metal embossed Christmas tree ornaments. Such an enthusiastic and friendly group, I had a great time with you all!

With 14 people on the workshop, it got a bit busy, as you can imagine, and so unfortunately I didn’t manage to get a photo of everyone’s work, but hopefully you can see from the photos I did take, what great ornaments they all made.

I’m looking forward to being back with South Pelaw Community Hub again very soon for the second part of a metal embossed monogram workshop, I’ll blog about that later this month.
