Mexican Heart Embossing Workshop

Fancy learning a new skill?  Then come along to this great workshop with Carrie, learning the traditional art of metal embossing.

A fun introduction to the art of metal embossing, learning how to make traditional ‘corazones mexicanos’ – Mexican hearts or sacred hearts, based on the Mexican artform of ‘milagritos’ – ‘little miracles’.

We’ll start on a practice piece and will go through the method of transferring the design to the metal, learning the techniques of metal embossing.  Then we’ll move on to designing and creating a heart, learning a few extra techniques along the way. Finally we’ll learn how to add a finish to your heart to make it look aged and will then decorate to add plenty of colour.

Each student will leave the workshop with a beautiful hand-crafted heart.  Suitable for beginners or those who have tried embossing before.

Create your own unique heart to keep all to yourself, or maybe give as a special Mother’s Day gift. The workshop would also make a great gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or another special occasion.
