This class will use chenille stems, also known as pipe cleaners, to safely introduce wire sculpture to young hands and minds. Students will learn basic skills in radial weaving in order to create colorful objects.

Experimentation and exploration with color, form and process will be encouraged in order for each student to develop their techniques and build free standing sculptures throughout the week

  • There is a $4 registration fee included in tuition.
    Members will have the $4 deducted from tuition.

    This class is held in the Jewelry Studio which is beneath the Gallery.
