Sussex Craft Week: Traditional Tin Embossing
Apron Community Garden - Buckingham Park, Shoreham By Sea
Sunday June 21 - 10am - 12pm
Join Emma Baars in the beautiful surroundings of Apron Community Garden for a welcoming, hands-on workshop exploring the art of tin embossing. You’ll create your own beautiful embossed ornaments for the garden which also humanely deter birds and other wildlife from fruit trees — while also learning techniques that can be applied to decorative objects and gifts.
This session draws on traditions of tin-smithing and white smithing, with examples to see, of how sheet metal and wire have been used by rural and travelling communities across Europe and beyond to craft both practical and decorative items.
Alongside making, there will be space for conversation, shared knowledge, and an appreciation of these enduring craft practices.
No experience is needed. Materials and tools will be provided. Ticket price includes materials, tea and locally baked organic biscuits.
Come and spend a morning making, learning, and connecting through traditional craft. Please get in couch with Apron if you have any questions in advance of the event
