♥ Suitable for: Individuals aged 12 and above who wish to create a unique handmade gift for themselves or a friend.
♥ Professional Instructor: Hsin-Yun Liang (Certified Metal Embossing Instructor from Japan)
Initially accompanying my child to a clay class, I unexpectedly discovered my passion for crafting, which led me to explore various mediums. During my pewter inlay studies, I found immense joy in the moment of completion, seeing the pewter sheet take shape through embossing and the careful refinement of its edges, eliciting a "WOW" feeling! As the design gradually emerges, a sense of calm and happiness arises.
In several exhibitions, I combined pewter inlay with clay succulents, where the elegance of pewter complemented the vibrant succulents, creating visually captivating and refreshingly novel works. My hope is to promote this craft of pewter inlay, allowing more people to discover and experience the beauty of handmade pewter art!
