Day three of the wire sculpture workshops saw more new faces and the shape of the sculpture really coming together.
The group worked together to begin assembling the different parts.
Still more work to do but we are getting there. Great news too, AirSpace Gallery have kindly offered to let us display the work in the gallery window, dates to be confirmed!

First Steps
The second day of the workshop and things have really started developing. We started with a quick introduction for some new members then continued to experiment with the wire and adding different materials, including fabric, tape and beads.
Then we made some decisions about the final sculpture and started putting together the skeleton of the final piece.
I'm really excited to see the shape of the sculpture coming together...

First Steps Workshops
This week I am working with a group of young women with the charity First Steps. We are experimenting with wire sculpture techniques with a view to creating a final piece by the end of the week. At the moment the idea is to create something that celebrates the form of the pregnant woman, as most of the group are pregnant or are mothers. We are hoping to exhibit the art work somewhere in the city of Stoke on Trent.
We are delivering the workshops at AirSpace Gallery in their amazing resource room, Glen gave us a tour of the gallery and a short talk on the British Ceramics Biennial exhibition Totem that was taken down yesterday. The artwork provoked some honest opinions from the group.
We also saw the AirSpace Yarden project which is well worth a visit.
We spent the rest of the day experimenting with different types of wire and different techniques. The group created some amazing sculptures...
