This workshop is designed for both beginners and more experienced individuals interested in working with wire and gut.

We will begin with samples and transition to larger forms using wire. Participants will also explore adding hog gut as a skin, encapsulation, and lashing/binding elements. Emphasis will be placed on learning and experimenting with the techniques, and play will be encouraged. Expect some fun exercises and lively group discussions.. All levels. Click here to register.
