Funky mixed media and wire character workshop – 31st May 2014

Learn to make funky characters out of wire combined with found objects/fabric/your old treasures – whatever you’d like to bring along to incorporate.

Come and create your own funky characters from wire and found objects.

Bring found / up-cycle able objects that have a special meaning to you or small items that you’ve picked up on walks to incorporate into your creations.

Ideas for small objects to bring could include corks, beer bottle caps, shells, fabric from a favorite worn out piece of clothing, broken jewellery, beads, small photographs/postcards, and I particularly love bits of rusty metal I find on the streets like washers. Basically, anything that inspires or interests you!

You will learn a variety of techniques working with wire, snips and pliers and you’ll leave with a unique funky handmade character to inhabit a special place in your home.

Wire and tools will be provided, there will be a small charge for wire.

Times are from 10am – 4pm, light refreshments are provided (tea, coffee & cake) please bring a packed lunch.

Cost of the workshop will be £45 plus a little extra for materials.
