Easy Metal Tooling

$27.00

Beautiful embossed metal art is such an elegant and unique medium! "Repousse" metalwork has been done for centuries – it's an art of enduring beauty. 

For this work we use a soft tooling metal which makes it easy to form patterns and images. The process is fun for all skill levels, and the finished work of art is a "Wow, you did that?!"

​The class is taught in a series of short videos accompanied by text. There are photo examples as well.

In this online workshop, you'll...

  • discover your hidden creativity as you easily design a beautiful work of art with simple tools and materials
  • Enjoy the relaxing process of pressing and adding pattern to the metal, and delight in the surprising results.
  • Find joy in creating a piece you can be proud of!


"Thank you so much for sharing this class with me. It has been so long since I attempted anything in the art realm.

Thank you for opening the door softly so I could step in without fear (or at least not too much)!

Tooling metal comes in many colors of aluminum, where the color is added to the top layer. I prefer to use either real copper, or uncolored aluminum which can be colored after the metal has been tooled.

Hi, I'm Elaine - and I'm thrilled that you're here!

You want to make some art, and I'd love to make that easy for you.

I've had a long career in art-related fields, teaching art to all ages, illustrating an international children's magazine, and painting works that hang in public and private spaces across the US.

Bringing some instruction online helps me to reach YOU - it's my prayer that you can find a means of expressing yourself that makes your heart sing!
