Mixed Media Wirework
9th July 2022
10th July 2022
10.00am – 5.00pm
All materials and equipment will be provided.
These one-day workshops will provide you with the opportunity to explore and experiment with wire and other materials to produce a standing sculpture based on observations from natural forms seen in hedgerows, flowers beds and the natural landscape.
You will be adopting a mixed media approach, shaping wire and using hand stitching, simple wrapping and binding techniques to incorporate and combine fine threads, delicate fabrics and hand printed surfaces.
By the end of the day these explorations can be embedded into wooden plinths or grouped together in small vases to produce standing sculptures. Small wooden plinths will be provided but participants could use found pieces of drift wood or characterful pieces of reclaimed wood.
