Come and join Helaina and make your very own 3D wirework art.
Take inspiration from Helaina’s amazing 3D cups, jugs and birds or go your own way and make your own 3D animal, musical instrument, fruit – the choice is yours!
Helaina will share her techniques and tips for working with wire to create stunning three-dimensional pieces.
It’s amazing what you can make using wire, pliers, wire cutters and mainly your hands!
You will have the opportunity to hook your wirework onto foam board or canvas, turning your 3D art work into a wire work wall piece.
Please note there is an £8 material charge payable on the day.

What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
What you’ll need to bring with you
At least one (more choice is better) photograph or object to work from. These will be the inspiration/starting point for the wirework.
