Repoussé for beginners
Repoussé for beginners:
Create Your Own Framed Wall Art!
Spend the day learning the traditional craft of repoussé and chasing, and create your own beautiful copper wall piece to take home.
In this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of transforming a flat sheet of copper into a raised, decorative artwork using specialist tools and techniques.
Working from a wide selection of over 100 simple design templates, from entry level line-art to advanced, intricate designs, you’ll learn how to:
- Chase clean, flowing lines into copper
- Emboss and raise your design using traditional techniques
- Anneal (soften) metal using a blowtorch
- Work safely with pitch bowls and panel beating bags
- Refine and finish your piece using planishing tools
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a completed repoussé artwork, mounted in a solid oak frame, ready to hang at home.
This course provides a strong foundation in sheet metal chasing, suitable for those interested in:
- Jewellery making
- Decorative metalwork
- Sculpture and craft
No prior experience is necessary — just a willingness to try something new.
