Student showcase – metal embossed coasters – St Mary Park

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

Yesterday I had a great afternoon as part of Highlights Rural Touring Scheme when I visited St Mary’s Village Hall in St Mary Park and taught a fabulous group how to create metal embossed coasters. Everyone took to learning the techniques really well, and they all made beautiful coasters, 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 everyone at St Mary’s Village Hall for looking after us so well!

If you’re interested in learning this technique, I’m running more workshops in conjunction with Highlights Rural Touring Scheme in May. Find out more either on my workshop page or on the Highlights website. Hopefully see you on a workshop soon!
