Embossed Notebook and Pen in Pewter
Description
Learn the basics of high and low relief embossing on sheet pewter. I will take you through the process from a piece of sheet metal to the finished product. The pewter will then be used to cover a notebook and a pen. Colour can be added with inks. There is no drawing experience required as stencils and traceable pictures will be provided.
Pewter is a pliable, radiant, silvery metal that is easy to engrave or emboss with basic hand-held tools, to create raised designs. The metal is then oxidized to create an aged appearance.
This is a beginners class and is suitable for age 16+
Coffee and tea will be provided.
Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the course starts. Start dates may be amended on request.

Everything that you need for the workshop is provided, as well as coffee, tea and biscuits .

Reviews
Had a great time on the box workahop with Mel. She is very welcoming and friendly,easy to talk to and discuss ideas with. Highly recommended!
Response from Metallix:
Thank you so much Rach. It was lovely to chat too....and the box was fab!Mel is very welcoming and personable. She is clearly very creative with a wide range of knowledge across many medias, and open to sharing her knowledge when asked. Made to feel at home (provided some nuts and hot drinks). We were given lots of guidance and step by step support alongside a wide range of examples/resources. A very simple method to pick up within minutes of Mel's explanation and trial/test piece; and then the rest of the session to be creative and make it your own.
You take a wooden box, colour the clasp and hinges, and remove the corners in prep and paint it whatever colour you like. Then you draw out your design and begin embossing on the pewter sheet. You also use a pattern for the surround on a separate piece of pewter. Then we treated/coloured the pewter and then cleaned it to your required shine. Finally sticking the pewter bits to the box.
We also got a tour of the building while we were waiting for the pewter to be treated, which was lovely to see all the creativity. A wonderful day. Would recommend.
