Faux Metal Embossing: Punch-to-Metal Magic
Discover the art of faux metal embossing and create your own beautifully embossed notebook!
Level: beginner
Ages: 12 and up
Punch-to-Metal Magic is a signature workshop that transforms lightweight faux metal tape into richly embossed, dimensional works of art inspired by antique metalwork, decorative architecture, and timeless design.
In this immersive 2-hour experience, you will explore a unique embossing process that combines traditional metalworking aesthetics with modern mixed-media techniques. Learn to create intricate raised patterns, elegant borders, and textured surfaces, then apply aging effects that give each piece the appearance of handcrafted, heirloom metal.
