Description:

I was always fascinated about embossing. The letters which are rising up from the paper are just gorgeous! In these years I discovered lot of options and started to experiment with the colours, metal leaves and different pressures… And now I will guide you through all these materials and cutting to the final piece.

We'll discuss different design compositions and rules, we'll talk about colour matching and try different textures in combination with embossing. It will be a joy to see your works!

Please Note: We will be updating this listing as more information becomes available, including the addition of a materials fee once it is known.
