Metalsmithing Christmas Decorations

Spend a morning making your own festive tree decorations using basic metalsmithing techniques.

You will be guided through the process of cutting, decorating and connecting a variety of shapes out of aluminium, brass and copper and leave with a set of your very own hand-crafted metal decorations for the festive season.

Who is the workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for beginners, no experience is needed, it’s a great introduction to basic metal working techniques.

Do I need to bring anything?

All materials and tools are included, please wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty or bring your own apron. Please note that hammering metals can be quite a noisy process, we will provide ear plugs you can use or feel free to bring your own ear defenders if you have them.
