Fish & Feathers - exploring wire and foil in Derbyshire.
Description
Join me at The Slipper Studio on the edge of the beautiful Peak District, for a relaxing and creative day. Fine and flexible wire is a lovely material to work with, enabling you to create characterful objects, with a drawn-like quality to them and all without causing harm to your hands. You’ll also get the opportunity to use recycled metal foil for embossing. We will explore joining techniques, wrapping, shaping and sculpting wire, create a range of small, decorative pieces of sculpture inspired by fish. Metal foils are also great materials to explore, enabling you to cut and emboss your designs; they are sure to take pride of place in your home. This workshop will suit folks with experience of different creative processes and techniques.
