Explore the beauty of everyday objects through the art of metal embossing.
Join us for a creative Family Day exploring the beauty of everyday objects through the art of metal embossing.
Inspired by metal objects on display in Earthly Paradise, families will discover how artists and designers have transformed practical items into beautiful works of art. Taking inspiration from Rory Hutton’s Useful & Beautiful print, decorative metalwork from the exhibition, and William Morris’s own candlestick from Red House, participants will explore the relationship between creativity, craftsmanship and everyday life.
Using copper embossing foil, children and their grown-ups will create their own candlestick artwork, embossing the outline of a candlestick before decorating it with colourful designs, patterns and imagery inspired by the Gallery’s collections.
