This is an online event.
Joining instructions will be provided after booking.
Embossing is such a beautifully pure and elegant way of presenting lettering on paper. This online workshop will briefly cover the basics of blind embossing and then take it up a level to creating multi-layered effects which are useful additions to calligraphic texts or on their own for greetings cards, journals or MS books. Suitable for all levels of experience.
We will work through the design process and techniques for embossing, step-by-step, so you can work along with me or watch the recording and have a go later (beware of the sharp tools if you are watching and doing!).
You’ll be asked to mute your sound, but there will be opportunities to ask questions and contribute to the processes.
After booking your place PDF handouts will be emailed to you 3 days before the workshop date. The recording cannot be downloaded but will be available to view for 30 days afterwards. Any links sent to you should not be shared with anyone else, as per the Ts & Cs, thank you.
