Testimonials from students
"It is so fulfilling, I love seeing how something comes alive, it is a time of peace for me, I just love it."
Patricia Gomes Monteiro
"I love many Mixed Media Arts. Pewter is the most *alive* medium for me.
Impressions set hundreds of different textures into a thin, pliable metal surface. Its abilities enhance the play of dark and light with the help of corrosion.
It enables baffling 3D effects with high and low relief formations. Different spirit-based colours or just a coat of varnish let it sparkle into a precious focal point.
It just boggles my mind every time!"
Melani Welzig
"I like it because it is very elegant and beautiful, but above all because it is a material that challenges us to capture our ideas and imagination in it."
Terllina Ha
"It is relaxing but challenging with each type of metal. Each time you touch the metal and using it with mix media too, I can go on forever! I fell in love with metal embossing!”

"Takes me away from stress from back surgery pain and helps with being alone.
This could turn out to be the best addiction one could have !
HAPPY EMBOSSING EVERYONE."
Gordon Burry
"It's cathartic! I work at the computer all day doing research, so I play with my embossing projects at night while I listen to whatever TV series we're watching.
It's relaxing and after a few hours or days, you end up with something beautiful to enjoy. I never thought I would be doing anything like this because my "thing" has always been numbers and logic and I'm the least artistic person ever!"
