Celebrate the first signs of spring by making a posy of delicate snowdrops with Flora Gare. Working from a drawing provided you will learn to sculpt coloured copper wire by tracing a template outline and fill in with fine wire, following step by step instructions.

What to expect: A structured workshop with step by step instructions where the whole group work together following the same instructions. A template of a snowdrop petal will be provided and used to trace the wire around creating an outline frame and then using thinner wire to fill in.

Benefits: Learning to join, twist, bend and shape wire into a flower. This is a mindful process that develops hand to eye coordination and skills in understanding how to work in 3 dimensions.

Who is your tutor: Hampshire based artist Flora Gare uses the processes of drawing with wire and ink to create 3D objects or sculptural wall based pieces, taking inspiration from local woodlands and landscape. She explores contrasting relationships between the colour of the copper and ink; fluid wire and printed marks.

Duration: 10am - 2pm

What to bring/wear: All materials provided but bring glasses for this detailed fine close up work and any images for inspiration.
