Student showcase: metal embossed coasters – Crosby Ravensworth

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

Yesterday I had a great afternoon as part of Highlights Rural Touring Scheme when I visited Crosby Ravensworth Village Hall and taught an enthusiastic group how to create metal embossed coasters. Everyone took to learning the techniques really well, and they all made beautiful coasters, with a bit of experimentation going on too, which I always love to see! Scroll through the carousel above to see what everyone got up to.

Amazing work, everyone, I loved what you all created.

Thank you so much to Lynn for looking after us so well and for the delicious home made cakes!

If you’re interested in learning this technique, find out more on my metal embossed coasters page.
