Metal Ornaments for the Christmas Tree

In this fun workshop, we’ll guide you through the entire process of creating a metal ornament to decorate your Christmas tree, completely personalized to your liking.

During the workshop, you’ll learn the basics of sawing, filing, and polishing metal, as well as how metal behaves when textured using various forging tools.

You’ll start with small pieces of metal sheet. After sketching your desired design onto the selected metal piece, you’ll follow the mentor’s instructions to saw, file, and polish it. The prepared designs can then be textured and transformed into unique ornaments perfect for Christmas tree decoration.

The workshop is intended for participants aged 14 and older and serves as an excellent introduction for those just starting to learn jewelry-making.
