Create your own personalised Christmas decoration in a relaxed and festive evening at the Winterbourne Medieval Barn site with Aimee Winstone Jewellery.

Sitting at a jeweller's bench with a sheet of brass or copper you will have a piercing saw to cut out your design. There will be a selection of templates to choose from or simply create your own. Using a combination of texturing hammers, Christmas-inspired punches and letter punches you will texture and personalise your piece. You can add names, dates or meaningful words to your Christmas Tree Decoration. Then spend time playing with heat colouring and patina techniques using cooking torches before polishing and adding your chosen ribbon. 

All equipment and materials will be supplied along with mince pies, mulled wine and Christmas music to enjoy your evening.
