Learn how to create beautiful embossed greeting cards
During this fun and creative workshop you'll be taken through a step by step process of how to emboss your own design using aluminium foil and card. Embossing is a metalworking technique where you create a raised, three dimensional design or texture on the surface of the foil. Our first workshop in October will be an introduction to this technique and the December session will be more focused in on creating festive cards and decorations. All resources are provided and you'll leave with everything you've made.
“I was a bit nervous about going to a workshop doing a craft I’d never tried before. From the moment I arrived Gemma made me feel welcome and relaxed. She gently led us through the workshop and supported each step of the process. She created an amazing friendly atmosphere in the room so it was easy to chat with others in the group. I was so proud of the print I made and had a really fun time. Highly recommended.”
