Maker's bio

I’m a British Army Veteran from the Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps, medically discharged in 2018 after 22 years of service due to PTSD. While traditional treatments like EMDR, CBT, and medication were part of my recovery, I found unexpected healing through a creative activity during a Help for Heroes course—metal engraving. Despite having no artistic background, I discovered a real passion for it, and it’s become a meaningful hobby that supports my mental health. I’ve now taken the step to run my own workshops and would love for you to join and experience this simple, enjoyable, and therapeutic activity.

Ellis reviewed: Engraving on metal workshops, West Midlands

"We’ve done a lot of different experiences on ‘Craft Courses’ but this was very different. We both found it surprisingly relaxing and quite easy once we got used to it. We came away feeling great with a personalised metal box which I’m going to use to put my rings in. I would actually pay much more for the workshop. Highly recommended. "

Etch Metal responded:

Jo reviewed: Engraving on metal workshops, West Midlands

"Tracy and Sarah gave a warm and friendly welcome to the workshop. I'd never done metal engraving before but with their instruction and passion for the craft was able to pick up the techniques and engrave a lovely keepsake. I'd recommend the workshop to anyone wanting to have a go at this craft. It's only a couple hours of your time, affordable and definitely a 'feel good activity' ☺️"

Jo reviewed: Friday Evening Engraving Workshop

"Excellent course with very good tutors! My only complaint (and it isn’t) is that I wanted longer!!"
