Wire & String Feature Trees with Pam Wettenhall

Workshop: Wire & String Feature Trees with Pam Wettenhall

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.

Participants will learn how to:

• Select and prepare branches for stability and aesthetic balance

• Wrap and weave with different types of wire and twine to build structure and form

• Experiment with layering and texture to enhance visual interest

• Use simple adhesive and assembly techniques to secure and display their finished trees

All materials are provided, including a selection of natural branches, wire, string/twine, limited wire cutters, spray adhesive, and Fowler jars for optional base mounting.

This workshop is suitable for beginners through to experienced artists looking to explore sculptural elements and mixed-media composition.

If you have some wire cutters bring them along!
