Back to high school with metal embossing.

I had the wonderful experience of teaching metal embossing for 3 days at St. Matthew High in Orleans/Ottawa earlier this month and wanted to share with you some of the amazing work the students did. They ranged from grade 7 to grade 12.  It's so interesting to see the designs that this age creates. Many of them used their own images and designs. Unfortunately I didn't get  photo's of all the work but these will give you an idea of just how great they were. 

Doesn't it just  make you want to get your metal out and play? Well I wish I could but I better get back to my Christmas preparing. How's yours going? All ready for the big day? Crazy me, I still have to go do some more shopping tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

Happy Creating

Metal embossing workshop

Last week I participated in the Ottawa Catholic School boards annual Mosaic Art event. This is my second year teaching metal embossing to these teens from grade 7 to 12. It's wonderful to see the talent and variation in the creations of these students. Sorry for the glare on some of the photos, it's so hard to take good pics of metal without ideal lighting and my favourite camera! Enjoy and be inspired.

Teaching teens

Last week I was lucky enough to be teaching a great group of teenage students my metal embossing techniques. I had a great time and it was wonderful to see all the creative canvas' that were made by the end of the day. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera along so I wasn't able to take pictures of all the work. But I was glad to have my friend and helper Michelle along with me and she had her handy phone with and was able to take a few pictures of some of their finished work. So here they are for you to see.

Aren't these just wonderful. It makes me want to go play with my metal right now but that's not going to happen today. I have 2 upcoming shows in May so the copper is calling to get some jewelry made.

Hope you find some creative time today.
