Metal embossed Easter egg ornament workshop

Description

Inspired by the German tradition of the Ostereierbaum (Easter egg tree – trees decorated with colourful Easter eggs), on this workshop you’ll learn the techniques of metal embossing to make a double sided Easter egg ornament. You can start a tradition of an Easter egg tree of your own, or simply hang it up on the wall or in a window. In the workshop we’ll learn about the tools and materials used and will go through some simple metal embossing techniques to begin. Then we’ll move on to creating your Easter egg design and will emboss it in metal. The final part will be to assemble the decoration and then add an ageing effect and colour to finish your ornament. This workshop is suitable for beginners. The workshop takes place at my home workshop just outside Stanley, County Durham. It is a small workshop, so workshop classes are also small, which means you will receive plenty of individual attention. This workshop will need at least two people booked on it to go ahead. Please note that my home workshop is accessed by stairs.

What's included in the price?

All the materials to make the ornament are included. Hot drinks and cake will be served during the workshop, please let me know of any dietary requirements when you book.

I’m Carrie, and I’m an artist and art and crafts teacher based in Stanley, north east England. I have been teaching art and crafts since the early 2000s and teach a weekly art and craft workshop in the local area for a social prescribing programme. I also deliver workshops for organisations around County Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria. Through personal experience, I know just how engaging with art and crafts can bring about a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation. I absolutely love passing on my knowledge and the benefits of art and craft for wellbeing. I particularly enjoy teaching absolute beginners, so rest assured, whatever your art and craft experience, I will guide you through the process and make it as enjoyable as I can for you! I love to share my knowledge and tips and techniques, so I hope you'll find the classes fun and informative.
