Framing up Form

Date: August 7-8

Tutor: Perry Scott

Studio: Mixed Media

Maximum number of students: 12

Description:
This weekend is about exploring the creative possibilities of using wire as a material with which to develop ideas and create three dimensional form. From a simple line in space to enclosed paper mache forms. Quite large, surprisingly strong forms can be engineered using wire and a tissue paper membrane to create open compositions in space. Tightly wound and compacted wire will create quite solid pieces. So come along and be a part of an enjoyable weekend of cutting, twisting, bending, and gluing creatively together. Suitable for all levels.

Content:
We will look at examples of wire work ( images ), go through a process of demonstrating methods of working with wire and cover safe working practices in the studio.

Objectives:
To introduce wire as a material and demonstrate some simple techniques with which to develop new ideas and create simple forms.

Outcomes:
You will have expanded your sculptural vocabulary through the experience of engaging with a new material and new ways of working and creating a simple form.

Required materials

there will be wire available from the materials shop. i would recommend that you bring any wire you may have at home, from thin fuse wire to number 8 fencing wire and anything in between.

Cost to student:
$5 basic cost. May grow with your ambition.
