Metal Etching and Coptic Stitching Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

Dive into the art of metal etching and Coptic stitching with mixed media artist Jen Crossley.

Create a stunning bound book with an etched brass cover, learning safe etching techniques that are perfect for at-home projects. After etching, Jen will guide you through the elegant Coptic stitch to bind your book, and adding personal touches to the spine using your own treasures.

Leave with a one-of-a-kind creation—perfect as a journal or a display piece.

Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
