Metal Embossing Workshop

It's simple to create intricate designs on metal - and impart luster, radiance and dimension - with the centuries-old art of embossing. This in-depth workshop explains it all: tracing and transferring patterns, cutting designs from the metal and attaching them to a surface, filling in, adding colour and patina, finishing and varnishing and texturising. Novices will find out how to use a wide variety of tools and products and follow a project being made from start to finish through close-up images. An entire photographic section showcases a range of embossing designs, with their richly diverse textures. The projects - all with full-size patterns - include frames and framed designs, boxes, clocks, glass items (vases, decanters) and jewellery.
