It's been a while since I've taught a metal embossing workshop or even played with metal, so this was so much fun. These ladies were very creative and totally inspired me. We had a busy day learning a variety of ways to emboss on metal and they each made a very unique piece by the end of the day. Metal is always a difficult thing to photograph and these do not do them justice but you'll get the idea.

I really should bring my metal out to play more often. Just need a few more hours in each day.
I had a small group for the Metal Embossed Doodles class last weekend but it was great fun and so inspiring for me as usual. Since it was a smaller than usual class I was able to teach a few more techniques than I usually do for this workshop. So in the final creations they used some free-form designs and some molds. Here are a couple of the finished pieces.

Have you been having a creative Fall so far?
My Fall schedule is up. Keep an eye on it for some additions in the next week or so.
The Ottawa Catholic School Board has a great program, that each spring brings together local artist with students from grade 7 to 12 to try new types of art that would other wise be hard to bring into the schools. For me it means sharing my love of metal embossing to a great group of creative teens. I'm always inspired by the designs they create.

Unfortunately I didn't managed to get a photo of everyone's finished piece but you can see how wonderful they were from the ones I did get.
