WIRE WORKSHOPS
​The workshops take place in the village of Timsbury, Somerset; parking is available at the house. Surrounded by an inspiring garden of plants and trees, these 4 hour workshops will guide you in the basics of creating something beautiful with wire. You will learn when to use different gauge wires and which tools to use; how to form different shapes and how to bring it altogether.

All tools and materials are provided, along with homemade cake, teas & coffees.

The inspiration that comes from living in the English countryside is never ending to me. From the stark winter trees, to the bunches of tiny flowers of cow parsley in spring, the sun and shade of summer and then the most stunning colours of autumn.

These incredible images inspire me all year round, through every beautiful season and appear in my work, through printing, painting and sculpting with wire. Using natural, ethically and environmentally sourced materials where possible, these beautiful items leave little impact on the Earth.

GIANT PARSLEY SEED HEAD Life sized, made with over 2000 pieces of wire, formed into small seeds on stalks and then attached to larger stems.

The Allium seed-head will be on show at the Mall Galleries for The Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition between 26 February - 8 March 2025.

Made from black iron wire, this tall (1.3 m) piece, makes a strong impression in any space and gives a sense of the outside, now in.

The Flowering Hogweed below, is from the same collection of life sized work. Over 2000 pieces of wire were used to make this piece.
