Embossing is an extraordinary art, which in many ways manifests the ancient truth about the victory of soft over hard, water over a stone. Amazing transformation of metal under the influence of the slow work of a master, step by step breathing life into a piece of metal, is this not magic?
During the master class, guests will be able to see the process of making handicrafts toreutics and enjoy the mystery of unhurried transformation. Also, the participants will have a unique opportunity to apply the technique they have seen. A metal chaser will distribute small metal plates to the guests, on which they can try to emboss their favourite ornament.
