Metal Tooling Workshop

Theme: SUSTAINABILITY

Let's use images of flora and fauna in nature for our metal tooling artwork in line with our sustainability theme. 

Taking care of yourself and being well is most important. Creating art, trying something new and taking a class are actually in the list of “green self-care practices”. 

This is from an e-book "Mothering Earth" by Julia Rockwell from the National Library Board.

Turns out we should focus more on the top 3 actions of REFUSE, REDUCE and REUSE. Many people perceive “recycling” as being sustainable. It's actually number 6 on the list of actions.

You can chat about this more on what actions you can take at home and at work as you make your artwork today. 

REFUSE, REDUCE AND REUSE ARE TOP 3! 

Metal Tooling Techniques

Template Design Options

Use these floral and fauna photos and line art as design templates. 

You can create your own unique "nature-themed" design too!

After you finish, frame your artwork with the square black paper and masking tape provided. 

TIP: Fold the masking tape length-wise to create a longer double-sided tape to hold the edges down. 

Here's the "Techniques" video again...
