Working with wire is a very therapeutic activity, where we create images from our minds into 3D forms. In the workshops we will be working with plants and flowers, real and imagined, recreating them in wire. One of the most attractive parts of wire forms are the shadows cast in sunlight or at night by lamplight. No previous experience or knowledge is required to become immersed in the creative activity of working with wire in these workshops.
THE CANDLE SURROUND WORKSHOP This workshop offers a chance to create a practical and decorative wire piece. A white candle (included) will be surrounded by a decorative wire scene of plants and grasses. As the candle burns down, beautiful shadows are cast from the wire plants.

THE CIRCLE OF GARDEN FLOWERS WORKSHOP This workshop is about creating wire flowers with leaves that will be formed into a circle. This could hang decoratively on a wall or a door. Small fairy lights (not included) could be woven through, creating a stunning effect. It is effective as a tiara too!

THE HEDGEROW WORKSHOP In this workshop, many flowers and plants are created, along with grasses, and held in a wooden block, creating a section of a hedgerow. This can be as dense or as sparse as preferred. Placed against or near a pale wall, the shadows cast will form intricate shapes giving another dimension to the piece.
