10am - 4.30pm

Learn various wire forming techniques and create a festive garland or series of decorations for your tree. The workshop is suitable for anyone and is a nice way to learn basic metalwork and jewellery making skills. Please note though, the technique is a little repetitive and wirework can be tiring on your hands, so do bare this in mind if you have any issues with hand strength. 
In the morning we'll explore basic techniques creating a winter scene, including stylized trees and snowmen. We’ll then go on to exploring different patterns using wires and beads to create a series of snowflakes in the afternoon. 
You’ll get a selection of wires and instructions to take home with you, so you can make more at home. There will also be the option to buy large Snowflake kits on the day, which use the same techniques, but are too repetitive to do in one sitting. 
The workshop is with Anna Roebuck, who began to develop the wire flowers in response to a Remembrance day commission and has since gone on to explore making different types of flowers out of wire.
