About this Event
Kickstart your festive period with Ella on a 3 hour pewter Christmas decoration making workshop.
During this workshop Ella will guide you through the process of adding texture and pattern to sheet pewter, a lead free metal. We will use textures and Christmas themed images to imprint on the the pewter using a traditional metalwork tool called a rolling mill.
We will then use hammers and piercing tools to shape your Christmas decoration and letter punches to add personalised details before polishing so you can proudly hang on your tree or wrap it as a handmade gift.
Suitable for beginners or those with previous silver or jewellery experience.
