New - Create Festive Angels and Flying Cats and Dogs in Derbyshire.

Description

Next promoted date: Saturday 16th November 2024 - fully booked. Join me at The Slipper Studio on the edge of the beautiful Peak District, for a relaxing and creative day that will get your festive to do list firmly on track. Fine and flexible wire is a lovely material to work with, enabling you to create characterful objects, with a drawn-like quality to them. You’ll also get the opportunity to use recycled metal foil for embossing. We will explore joining techniques with wire, alongside: wrapping, shaping and sculpting, to create festive angels. Metal foils are also great materials to explore, enabling you to cut and emboss your designs, creating a range of flying cats, dogs, birds and other winged creatures of your choice; they are sure to take pride of place in your home this Christmas, or if you can bear to part with them, they’ll make great gifts and present toppers. This workshop will suit folks with experience of different creative processes and techniques, ready to release a bit of pre Christmas magic.
