Description
Introducing the brand new copper plant label course. This is a course suitable for beginners and anyone else who would like to create their own set of copper plant labels for garden or indoor pots. Copper is an amazing addition to the garden, echoing the earth tones of wooden planters and changing as it ages, with a deeper patina developing the longer it is used. Copper is also a wonderful material, changing with age and conditions such as humidity, while standing up to the elements and having a long life span as a plant label. And far better than using plastic! Keen gardeners will enjoy this course and the end results, but it is also a suitable course for a first time experience in metal work. During this session you will get to try the following techniques: - Metal sawing and shaping. - Filing. - Stamping. - Flame painting. - Finishing and cleaning up.
What's included in the price?
The course includes enough copper to make six stunning plant labels to take home with you, as well as a work book with all the information you have learnt on this course. Light refreshments, hot and cold drinks are also included.

Hello, my name is Clare and I am pleased to offer workshops and classes in my studio. I offer a range of courses, from short taster sessions, half or full day workshops and 6 week courses. Here at Halton Village Silver Studio we work in silver and copper, using both traditional and modern metalsmith techniques, and enjoy using enamel to add colour. My workshops include a range of Jewellery making but I also enjoy teaching other metal smith sessions including making metal plant labels, spoons and bowls, as well as creating metal flowers. My studio has all the equipment you need to create some lovely pieces to take home, and each session includes all of the materials you will need, as well as a work sheet / book to take home to remind you of what you have learnt.
