Sculpting with Tin
Transform all those old biscuit and sweet tins lurking in your cupboard into something colourful and unique to decorate your home using just a few simple tools and techniques!
About Sculpting with Tin
It could be a bird, an animal or why not make a funky wreath or bouquet of flowers.
In this all-day workshop, you will learn how to prepare and cut the tin; how to emboss and add texture; how to incorporate buttons, feathers and other materials; and how to use a pop riveter or wire to connect pieces together. After a short introductory exercise, you will have plenty of time to work on your own project. No experience of metalwork required, just come along and have fun trying something new.
What to bring
All tools and materials will be supplied but bring along any of your own tins you’d like to use. There will be lots of examples on hand for inspiration as well as templates and a wide selection of reference books but do bring along your own drawings and source materials if you have something specific in mind.
About your Tutor
