No experience is necessary, just come along for a fun workshop and learn a new skill that you will be able to take away to create more at home! Suitable for beginners, minimum age 16+. Artist Bio. I am a wire artist creating pieces inspired by the natural world in particular flowers. I make a selection of wire sculptures in box frames where I like to combine them with driftwood or crystals. My work ranges from decorative pieces to one off commissions. I love to take long walks in the countryside capturing the next inspiration through photography, then back to the desk to begin drawing and planning my next piece. Using the skills I’ve learnt throughout a varied art/teaching career I like to achieve fluid and minimal designs celebrating natural forms in its purist way through wire.

"I had such a wonderful time on this course. I received a warm welcome and the offer of tea or coffee. Excellent tuition by Laura who is a very talented artist. I was so pleased with the wire alliums and foliage that I made. Can’t wait to test out my new found skills and make some at home. Already ordered some wires. The Craft Barn is a beautiful venue and directions provided were easy to follow. Such an uplifting experience! "

"Being clumsy and not artistic at all I found the course friendly and the tutors very patient. Really enjoyed the course it was very relaxing and not rushed. It was a mixed group of couples and single students all very friendly and I even managed to complete my day with a finished product. I am going to book more courses in the future. "

"Absolutely top tier! Kelly the instructor and Karen the owner were both fantastic. Kelly has a wonderfully relaxed yet no-nonsense teaching style that the entire group was able to work with extremely well. We never felt rushed and could ask all the questions we needed. Course included great information on general and practical aspects of both technique and supplies. Would highly recommend the course and the venue to anyone."

"Attended a beginners crochet workshop with Karen. The course was brilliant and the other course attendees were very lovely as well. I learnt a lot talking to Karen, and came away with some homemade crochet pieces and instructions. I learnt such a lot that I have booked onto two further courses. Well worth attending if you want to start a nice relaxing hobby "

Ali reviewed: Copper Foil Stained Glass Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"This was a Christmas gift from me to my mum and we attended together. What a lovely day! Comfortable surroundings, kind and patient tutors and a relaxed atmosphere. At a time where more people are seeking experiences rather than ‘things’ to give loved ones as gifts, this course and others like it are just brilliant for ensuring we put the time aside to spend with each other. A joy to spend a day mindfully engaging with gaining a new skill. Many thanks indeed!"
