Student Showcase: six week metal embossing course, weeks 2 to 4

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

My six week metal embossing course being held in conjunction with Breathing Space in Witton Gilbert is going really well. Everyone has been working on larger projects during these few weeks, and two of them were finished today. On the left is a wonderfully intricate bookmark, and on the right a very elegant house number. Both of these pieces are worked in copper.

There should be a couple more projects finished next week, and some new ones were started today. Stay tuned to see the finished pieces!
