Welcome to Wire Workshops

ABOUT
Wire Workshops are delivered in a fun and contemporary way using reclaimed telephone wire. The wire is an exciting and expressive material that is highly creative and fun for all. The fine copper wire is colour-coated, soft to the touch and easy to work with.

The process of bending, twisting and wrapping is presented in lessons on technique while also introducing tools and the use of other materials. Projects are highly adaptive with individual work or collaborative projects offered.
