Metal Embossed Heart Decoration Workshop

Learn the art of metal embossing while crafting your own unique heart decoration.



3 hours Class size 2 to 4 guests       £35 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this metal embossing class in Stanley and discover the vibrant art of creating your own Mexican hearts. You’ll learn how to craft traditional ‘corazones mexicanos’ – also known as ‘milagritos’ or little miracles – in a relaxed and welcoming home studio.
Your experience begins with a friendly introduction to the tools and materials, followed by a practice piece to help you get a feel for the metal. Once you’re comfortable, you’ll work on your own unique heart design with plenty of hands-on help every step of the way. You’ll be guided through the specific methods of metal embossing to bring your design to life, before finishing your piece with a decorative aged effect and a bright pop of colour.
Because this is a small group setting, you’ll receive plenty of individual attention in a supportive environment that's perfect for first-timers. It’s a wonderful way to switch off from the daily grind and focus on something tactile and fun.
You'll leave this workshop feeling inspired by your new skills and ready to hang your beautiful handmade decoration on a wall or window at home. It's a life-enhancing way to spend a few hours, made even better with hot drinks and cake to keep the creative energy flowing.

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!
