Embossed Copper Initial Workshop

  • Elements Festival 33 Broughton Place Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 3RR United Kingdom (map)

Join Silversmith and Elements 2023 Exhibitor Bryony Knox for a workshop where you will design and make a copper shim tile. This is an ideal way for beginners to explore the malleability of this colourful metal, whilst making a unique design of their initial letter.

Participants will use stylus and doming punches to push and form the copper shim, using a soft mousemat and hard surface of a table. No hammers or saws needed. The copper will then be folded around wooden tiles and finished off. This workshop is appropriate for ages 12 and up.

The workshop includes the ticket cost of visiting Elements. Tickets are eligible for entry throughout the Elements weekend.
