Monday to Saturday
Use fairy lights/light bulbs to illuminate your exotic, hanging, light weight sculptures. Create with
simple materials - glass, tissue paper, beads and Fiona's very own wire working techniques, beautiful forms
or lampshades to transform any room. This course is an ideal opportunity to experiment and have some fun.
The course will begin with making a simple candlestick form, to introduce wire as a material and gain an
understanding of the basic techniques. Following this we will take a look at the work of past students,
various other examples and discuss what techniques were used. Everyone will then be free to create whatever their heart desires! Fiona will be on hand to give individual guidance and demonstrations from the initial ideas to the finished pieces.

FIONA GALL has a BA Hons in Design Crafts and has been working as an artist-designer, specialising in
sculptural wire work, for the past ten years. Inspired to make beautiful objects associated with nature and
the Faerie Realm, she decided to craft the kind of things Faeries would own and use. Trawling car boot sales
and auction rooms she uses the magpie magic of the found object to make everything from opulent chandeliers
and large sculptural plant forms to hand bag shaped light pieces.
