Today at the High School we are doing metal embossing and the students all seem to really enjoy this project. First, students were given a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and sculpting tools to practice with. They could choose from a variety of design examples that I printed off, or they had the freedom to create their own designs. After they felt comfortable with their design and techniques, they could emboss their design on a 5" x 5" sheet of 38 gauge metal. The sheets had silver on one side or copper on the other and students could choose whichever color they wanted to use!
