One Day Pewter Techniques and Casting Workshop - Make a Tealight Holder

X

Description

This one-day pewter workshop is designed to introduce beginners and experienced metal workers to pewter. All students will gain basic skills in pewter techniques, such as cutting the metal, soldering, casting, mould making, finishing and polishing. It is not essential to have any metal work experience as Fleur will guide you through each step and at the end of the day you will be taking home a finished pewter tealight holder of your own design that you have made. You will also take home the rubber mould so you can re use it at home. Contact Fleur if you would like to make a private booking for a date of your choice with 2 people on an alternative date. Fleur can do these on either a weekend or a week day. TUTOR - Fleur has worked with pewter for 30 years, designing and making her pewter homeware and sculptures alongside running workshops. She is also the author of Pewter Design & Techniques published by Crowood Press, so has experience in a variety of pewter techniques to share. It is not necessary to have any experience either working with metal or carving the wax as Fleur will guide you through the whole process step by step. This is a great opportunity to experience working with pewter and creating your own unique piece. For safety reasons Fleur asks that you wear a long sleeve top and no open shoes while pouring the molten pewter.
