Wire & String Feature Trees with Pam Wettenhall
Sunday 8th March 10am -3pm
ERAS Sunday School
In this hands-on session, students will create unique sculptural “feature trees” using natural branches, wire, and string. These small-scale creations can stand alone as personal art pieces or be incorporated into larger mixed-media works to add depth and three-dimensional texture.
