Make a Scene - £75 

Saturday 6th May 10am – 4pm  (2 spaces available)

Working in copper you’ll learn how to texture, cut and shape the metal.  I will provide a variety of little scenes which you can choose from, or you can create your own design.  Next you will produce the pieces needed to create your chosen scene (mainly using copper although brass and silver can be used for highlights).   Once cut, textured, polished and patinated your pieces will be mounted onto wood creating a gorgeous ornament.
