Learn the art of metal embossing while creating a pair of decorative coasters at this workshop in Stanley. This hands-on session is a wonderful way to switch off and discover a unique craft in a supportive, small-group environment.
You don't need any previous experience to join in, as your teacher will guide you through every step of the process. You'll begin by getting to know the specialist tools and materials before creating a small practice piece to build your confidence. Once you're comfortable, you'll move on to your main project. During the class, you'll learn how to:
  • Transfer your chosen design onto the metal – Choose from six provided motifs or bring along your own inspiration.
  • Master embossing techniques – Use your tools to create depth, texture, and intricate patterns.
  • Apply a professional finish – Learn how to age the metal for a beautiful, vintage look.
The workshop is held in a cosy home studio just outside Stanley, County Durham. Because the space is intimate, you'll receive plenty of individual attention and expert tips throughout the day. To keep your energy up while you create, you'll be treated to hot drinks and delicious cake.
You'll finish the session with two bespoke metal-embossed coasters that are perfect for your coffee table or as a thoughtful, handmade gift. You'll head home feeling inspired by your new skills and the rewarding experience of making something beautiful from scratch.

Crafts for Wellbeing
Crafts for Wellbeing


I’m Carrie, and I’m an artist and 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. Through personal experience I know just how engaging with art and crafts can bring about a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation. I absolutely love passing on my knowledge and the benefits of art and craft for wellbeing.
My aim is to bring wellbeing through getting creative to everyone. I particularly love to teach absolute beginners and get them started on their creative journey. 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. I work regularly with people who have long term illness, carers and people who live with depression and anxiety.
Since childhood I have always created art, and it has been a constant throughout my life. My main personal art focuses are printmaking, metal embossing, Celtic knotwork drawing and plein air sketching. Back in the 2000s I worked for a craft company for almost a decade, where I learned a lot of other arts and crafts, so I teach a wide range of skills.
Below are some of the organisations I work with either currently or have worked with on past projects:
Durham County Council – Highlights Rural Touring – Durham Lumiere – Newcastle Carers – Beamish Museum – Land of Oak and Iron Heritage Centre – Gateshead Art Diamonds - Breathing Space Witton Gilbert - plus many more!
As well as scheduled workshops, you are welcome to book a private workshop in my studio for between 2 and 4 people, or book a workshop for up to 12 people for your group or organisation, hosted at your own venue.
I look forward to welcoming you to a workshop soon!
