Come & Try our Wire Workshop ON TUESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025
FROM 10.00 AM FOR COFFEE, 10.30 AM TO 3.30 PM AT ALMA HOUSE, RIPON, HG4 1NG
COST £25 PER PERSON PLUS $5 FOR MATERIALS
Enjoy a relaxing day working with wire and pliers to create several stems of different garden flowers and seed pods. Basic turns,
twists and forms can be applied in several different ways to achieve 2 and 3-dimensional work. Work at your own pace, but expect to
create around 5 stems which may include terms, cow parsley, honesty, leaves, and daisies. Some degree of hand dexterity is
required for this workshop, but little strength. Please be aware that the wire will leave residue on your hands (working in gloves is not an option).
Please bring glasses (if you need them as this is close-work), a notepad and pencil for sketching designs, and if you have them, round-nosed jewellery pliers and wire cutters. Rachel will bring all the tools and equipment.
Booking start date 1st July, closing date 12th September.
