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

In this fun and creative class near Stanley, County Durham, you will discover the art of metal embossing by creating traditional ‘corazones mexicanos’, also known as Mexican hearts or sacred hearts, inspired by the Mexican 'milagritos' art form.
After an introduction to the tools and materials, you will create a sample piece to familiarise yourself with them. You’ll then create your own heart design, followed by learning more techniques of metal embossing to bring your design to life. Once the embossing is complete, we will work on decorating the heart to achieve an aged look and add colour to enhance its beauty.
By the end of the class, you will have a charming heart that can be proudly displayed as a wall or window ornament, adding a touch of unique art to your space.

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!
