I’m Carrie, and I’m an art and crafts teacher based just outside Stanley, north east England.I have been teaching art and crafts since the early 2000s, and have been teaching these with wellbeing in mind since 2014, working with a local social prescribing service.I particularly enjoy teaching absolute beginners, so rest assured, whatever your art and craft experience, I will guide you through the process and make it as enjoyable as I can for you!

Crafts for Wellbeing

Create your own unique copper embossed house number.

Metal embossing craft workshops

Learn the art of metal embossing in a relaxed and supportive environment. We have regular workshops on making coasters, Christmas decorations, monograms, hearts, house numbers, hangers, clocks and books.

In this workshop I’ll take you through the methods of creating a metal embossed image, which will result in a finished house number plaque, created in copper.No experience of metal embossing is necessary, as I will take you through all the methods to make your plaque. We’ll go through all the steps from creating your design, to transferring it to the copper plate, learning the techniques of metal embossing, and finally how to finish your copper plaque in order for it to be ready to attach to your house. You will leave the workshop with a finished house number plate. The decorations around the house number can of course be changed to represent you and your family.Unfortunately if you have a house name rather than a number, we won’t have time to create a plaque for your house, but you may like to make a great gift to make for someone who is moving in to a new home?All materials are provided, and hot drinks and light refreshments will be available too. Please let me know of any dietary requirements when you book.Workshops will take place at my home workshop just outside Stanley, County Durham. It is a small workshop, so workshop classes are also small, which means you will receive plenty of individual attention. This workshop needs a minimum of two people booked on it in order to go ahead.Please note that my home workshop is accessed by stairs.
