Embossed Metal Woodland Creatures

Ever looked at your old drinks cans and seen a shimmering owl or a mystical hare? Well, it’s time to look closer! Join us for a unique upcycling workshop where we transform everyday aluminium cans into intricate, embossed woodland creatures.

​You’ll learn how to turn trash into treasure. These lightweight sculptures make for enchanting art, ornaments, or whimsical additions to your bookshelves.

​What You’ll Learn

• ​All Tools Provided: We supply the cans (although more donations are always welcome), and all the equipment you will need.
• ​Forest Friends: Don’t worry I’ve done some of the work for you and you can choose from a variety of templates to create your woodland critters!
• Beginner-friendly! If you can trace a line, you can emboss a masterpiece.
