New – Create small wire animal sculptures

 

Come along to The Slipper Studio and learn how to create your own tiny wire animal sculptures. 

Your initial ideas will be sketched, before you explore fine and flexible heat treated wire. It’s an expressive material and surprisingly easy to handle, cut and manipulate with basic hand tools; it’s like drawing in the air. You will create several wire sculptures both on bases and free standing, with a particular focus on birds, dogs and sheep with strong, angular profiles – breeds with more rounded features can be problematic. Your skills will develop throughout the day, enabling you to create more challenging pieces as the day progresses. You might like to print off several A6 images of birds, dogs and sheep in profile, but you will be provided with several suitable images to work from.

This workshop is suitable for beginners or more experienced makers ready to explore new ways of working.

 

Friday 18th September 2026, 10 – 4pm, with just 5 places available each day, £95 per person, including: tuition, materials and use of equipment; just bring your lunch.
