About this Event

Join us for a Beginners Wire Weaving Workshop with Guest Tutor Zoe Frater. 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 bead. You’ll work in copper wire as this is easier to manipulate. You’ll also have the opportunity to add antique patina to your work with liver of sulphur, which really helps highlight the intricate weaving and detail, giving a deep shade and rustic effect to your finished piece.

You do not need any prior experience to book our Beginners Wire Weaving Workshop. This class is suitable for both beginner wire workers and those of you wanting to brush up on your skills.

During this 3 hours class you’ll learn a couple of different wire weaving techniques and make a simple pendant to put your newly leant skills into practice.
