Copper Wreath Making Course - Embossing Metal

Description

Fancy creating a wreath with a difference? This handmade copper wreath will certainly be a show stopper, not only for this Spring but for Summer, autumn, christmas and many years to come, as unlike natural wreaths it won't decay. You can choose from gold or copper thick metal foil sheeting sheeting or a combination of both. Learn metal embossing skills to create your own 3D designs and use copper wire to embellish the wreath further. We will then burn the metal with a small blow torch to reveal the beautiful colours conducted by the metal. You will be shown a range of techniques and get to experiment a little before committing to your design. You will learn embossing, heat colouring, wire sculpting, metal sculpting and composition. This is usually a very expensive art form to learn, so make the most of this bargain while you can! About the artist Dr Helen Jones has 12 years art teaching experience.
