Pewter workshop - Bee on a box

  • THORNBRIDGE HALL, Bakewell, England, DE45 1NZ United Kingdom (map)

Join Caroline at our beautiful Orangery, as she teaches you the absorbing craft of metal embossing.   We will be making this pretty bee from a sheet of pewter by using traditional metal embossing methods.  You don’t need to be able to draw as the design is provided.

During this 3 – 4 hour workshop you will learn how to transfer the design onto metal. Next we will raise the metal by stretching it gently with hand tools, etch the details, fill and add a patina to age the metal. Finally, we will add some copper stripes and then mount the bee onto the box provided.
