Wire Sculpture Workshop

With Priscilla Jones

10am—4pm

Priscilla Jones is an international artist that explores mixed media in her textile practice - she has been teaching for 19 years in Higher Education and delivers many workshops and courses to all levels of ability including the less experienced with a passion for textiles and those you have already developed skills and what to progress with their own practice.

Priscilla creates sculptures that draw upon her life long love affair with here vast collections of odd an curious objects. During this workshop, Priscilla Jones will share with you the creative techniques developed through her own experimentation – so you can create your very own finished piece. Your 3D sculpture can be inspired by whatever theme you wish so do bring an idea along with you to the workshop or let Priscilla’s work inspire you to make your piece.

You will learn a range of techniques and processes including how to produce a structure using light weight wire, wax, and fabric. The sculptures can be worked into with hand stitch and embellished with buttons, beads and trimmings. Even fragments of paper or small found objects can also be attached so do bring anything along you would like to work with.

This is fantastic workshop for anyone who would like to explore a mixed media approach to stitched 3D textiles and develop ideas for their own work or for teachers who wish to learn new and exciting techniques that can be integrated into the delivery of their own projects and briefs.

This workshop is for adults only.
