Beginner, No prior experience is necessary.

Spend the day learning the traditional craft of repoussé and chasing and create your own beautiful copper wall piece to take home. 

In this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of transforming a flat sheet of copper into a raised, decorative artwork using specialist tools and techniques. 

Working from a wide selection of over 100 simple design templates, from entry level line-art to advanced, intricate designs, you’ll learn how to: 

• Chase clean, flowing lines into copper 
• Emboss and raise your design using traditional techniques 
• Anneal (soften) metal using a blowtorch 
• Work safely with pitch bowls and panel beating bags 
• Refine and finish your piece using planishing tools 

By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a completed repoussé artwork, mounted in a solid oak frame, ready to hang at home. 

All materials and tools provided. 
 
You only need to bring a packed lunch, wear sturdy shoes (ideally boots) and sensible clothing, and bring a bag to take your work home in.
