Joanna Coupland is well known for her quirky sculptures formed from paper and wire. Join her for this 1 day workshop to find out how she creates these funky forms. Your subject will be birds, whether modelled on a real bird or something more exotic from your imagination – you will be certain to make a bird with personality!
Learn how Joanna’s creations are born, using tissue paper and wire, and create something that will make you smile!
Please note that due to drying times, in a day it is not possible to fully decorate your piece as well as complete the sculpture. You can easily do this with paints at home.
Please note there is a £5 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!
