Member Price $75, Non Members $85
Open to ages 12+
All materials included
No experience necessary
Experience the art of tin embossing, also known as repujado, and discover how simple tools can transform metal into a striking work of art. In this hands on workshop, you will learn how to transfer your custom design onto thin metal sheets and use stylus tools to press, shape, and build dimension from the reverse side. As the design begins to rise from the surface, you will refine details, add texture, and bring your image to life with light and shadow.
By the end of the session, you will complete a radiant decorative piece that can be displayed as an ornament, framed artwork, or a small metal print.
All levels are welcome and no prior experience is needed. All materials are provided, along with step-by-step guidance to ensure you leave with a finished piece you are proud to take home.
