Solving the Mystery of Wire Armatures

A workshop with Peta Korb

Peta Korb of Country Chicks Creations will guide you in a two day workshop to Unravel the Mystery of Wire Armatures – Learn how to design and develop an armature from an image or idea exploring realistic to whimsical. Discover different wire properties and uses. Learn to work in scale and how to deal with tiny detail. Create your own armature to take home to use for needle felting or in other fibre arts.

Something for everyone in this workshop as we explore from simple to complex armatures and a variety of techniques in creating them including different methods for mounting if your pieces are more sculptural and require a base.

Participant Experience Level: All levels of experience welcome.

Duration of Workshop: 2 Days
