Holiday Magic: Metal Embossed Ornaments & Gift Tags at Jester Artspace
The material for these holiday decorations starts in an unexpected place: new and recycled roasting pans. At Jester Artspace, participants use metal-embossing tools to make pieces they can keep as individual ornaments or adapt for gifts and garlands.
A design can become more than one kind of decoration
The sheets come in copper, gold and aluminum tones. Participants can choose from motifs such as suns, moons, insects, cats, dogs and seasonal designs, or bring their own artwork for a more personal pattern.
The workshop calls for at least three finished pieces. They can hang separately, be strung into a holiday garland, or become gift tags or card toppers. That range gives participants a choice between making decorations for a home and details to use when wrapping or giving gifts.

Trace, emboss, and make a small set
The listed process is straightforward: trace a design on the metal, then press it into the surface with simple embossing tools. No prior experience is required, and the organizer provides the materials.
The three-hour session is a single hands-on workshop, not a series of separately listed activities. The listing describes the craft as low-mess and says materials are provided.

A working arts space in a historic farmhouse
The farmhouse sits amid 30 acres of original farmland. Its stone-built core reflects a small-farm style that was widespread in northern Delaware before the Civil War and is now represented by few surviving houses.
Jester Artspace makes the historic house available to local artists from different disciplines and experience levels for gatherings, creative work and exhibitions. The nonprofit partnered with New Castle County, the property owner, on renovations in 2015.
