Zinc or Copper Christmas Stars Workshop
Discover the art of metalworking and create your very own handcrafted zinc or copper Christmas stars at The BOX Furniture in Swansea.
Get creative this festive season with our hands-on workshop, where you'll learn how to transform raw zinc or copper into beautiful, handcrafted Christmas stars to take home and enjoy for years to come.
Under the expert guidance of skilled craftsman and furniture maker Dan Faull, you'll explore traditional metalworking techniques, including cutting, hammering, texturing, shaping and forming metal to create your own unique festive decorations.
You'll have the opportunity to work with either zinc or copper, discovering the distinctive characteristics of each material and learning how to carefully shape and form your Christmas stars using specialist tools and techniques.
Throughout the session, you'll develop practical metalworking skills, from preparing and cutting your chosen material to creating decorative textures and shaping your stars. You'll then refine and finish your creations, bringing out the natural beauty of the metal and creating decorations with a distinctive handcrafted finish.
Whether you're a complete beginner or simply looking for something creative to do this Christmas, our workshop offers a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, work with your hands and experience the craftsmanship behind bespoke metalwork.
At the end of the session, you'll take home your very own handmade zinc or copper Christmas stars, created entirely by you. Perfect for adding a personal touch to your festive décor or giving as a truly unique, handcrafted Christmas gift.
