10 – 1pm
Materials included: Copper dish 9.5x1.5cm and to experiment 5x5cm copper sheet square.
In this short class you will take home a lovely copper trinket dish which you can decorate using different punches to make up your design. You can experiment beforehand on a copper sheet and see how the different punches work and look on the metal.
After you’ve finished decorating the dish you will remove it from the pitch, clean it up and then colour the surface by using heat.
Please bring some line drawings/ideas with you as well as a notebook/pencil. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated; a simple design can work nicely and you can always build upon the design. Please design within the dimensions of the materials provided. You are welcome to email me your design beforehand to see if it is achievable within the timeframe.
Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided, but please bring your own lunch as the workshop is quite remote so no cafes on the doorstep unfortunately! We have a kettle, hob, oven, microwave and fridge in the kitchen of the workshop.
Decorate and Colour a Copper Trinket Dish
Please note before booking: This course fee includes a deposit of £50. In the event of cancellation less than 30 days before the course, this deposit becomes non-refundable but may be transferred to another available course date. For courses cancelled with less 48 hours of the booked date, no refund will be given. In the event of cancellation by Katie, an alternative date will be offered, or full refund given and will give you as much warning as possible which will be no less than a week before the class is due to take place.
Please note the workshop is quite remote so please plan ahead accordingly. It is best if you can drive here, otherwise it's alot trickier by public transport. From Edinburgh you would have to get the train to either Berwick-upon-Tweed or Galasheils and then a bus from there to Polwarth Road End (near duns and greenlaw). I can then pick you up from the bus stop if needed or it's a 40 minute walk. Please also note public transport times are limited and the last bus may be before 5pm on a Sunday.
If you are needing to stay the night somewhere I'd recommend The Plough Inn at Leitholm. https://www.theploughinnleitholm.co.uk/ Alternatively if you don't drive, let me know and I may be able to provide somewhere onsite but this is not guaranteed.
