Maker's bio

I’m a British Army Veteran (Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps). Unfortunately after 22 years of service, I was medically discharged in 2018 due to PTSD. The Military’s Mental Health treatment plan for me included EMDR, CBT and medication. However, I completed Help for Heroes recovery courses, during which, one of the activities really stood out for me and helped my mental health more than anything: I’ve never been creative or had the imagination or patience for anything arty farty! But I was encouraged to try the ‘Engraving on Metal Workshop’. I’m so glad that I took part as I really enjoyed it. Mental health wise, I found it very helpful and I’ve carried on engraving on metal as a hobby ever since. I would like you to experience this “Feel Good Activity” which is easy to learn and fun. I have now taken a big step forward to set up and run some workshops of my own. I hope to see you at one.

Jo reviewed: Engraving on metal workshops, West Midlands

"Tracy and Sarah gave a warm and friendly welcome to the workshop. I'd never done metal engraving before but with their instruction and passion for the craft was able to pick up the techniques and engrave a lovely keepsake. I'd recommend the workshop to anyone wanting to have a go at this craft. It's only a couple hours of your time, affordable and definitely a 'feel good activity' ☺️"

"Excellent course with very good tutors! My only complaint (and it isn’t) is that I wanted longer!!"

Scott reviewed: Engraving on Metal Workshop

"I really enjoyed this course, I believe that we were all new to this type of work and everyone turned out good stuff and enjoyed themselves. The course tutors were brilliant and could not have been more helpful and encouraging. It definitely left me wanting to do more work of this kind, and I will be getting the equipment. The two hours flew by and I left feeling really relaxed, so that's a bonus."

"Tracey & Sarah were so lovely & welcoming. The class was small & they gave support if needed but you had the freedom to just enjoy creating your design and etching this. I had a wonderful time & will definitely be booking again. "
