Learn how to hand manipulate wire, with pliers and wire cutters, to create a unique wirework drawing with artist Helaina Sharpley.
About this Event

Using photographs and inspiration you have brought on the day, you will be taken through the process of creating a line drawing template to work from when creating your wire drawing.

You will then be shown how to use different gauges of wire and tools, such as pliers, to make your final wire drawings.


Finally, we'll mount the finished piece onto a foam board to take home and frame.
