About this Event
Join us for a Wire Weaving Workshop with Guest Tutor Zoe Frater aimed at beginner level wire workers. Zoe is a wonderful wirework artist, she creates fantastic intricate wire woven pendants including dragons, anatomical hearts as well as brilliantly organic shapes. In this workshop Zoe will teach you how to handle the wire and how to start weaving with practice wire. Before you go on to create your own small pendant utilising the wire weaving techniques and incorporating a focal beads and embellishments. You’ll work in copper wire as this is easier to manipulate.
Zoe will also talk you through, how to add a antique patina to your work using liver of sulphur, which really helps highlight the intricate weaving and detail and give a deeper shade to the wire.
This workshop will be great for anyone wanting to start a new hobby, or learn a new skill. The design is a little different from the class Zoe first taught with us, so if you fancy attending again for more practice or brush up on your skills we’re sure you’ll get more our of it too.
During this 3 hours class you’ll learn a couple of different wire weaving techniques and make a simple pendant to put your wire weaving skills into practice.
