Today at ARTWORKS: artist Jenny Goater, wonderful wire sculptures

Today, Saturday 14 September 2013, Artworks artist Jenny Goater will be demonstrating wire sculpture techniques in the Artworks exhibition.

Jenny Goater : Wire Creations

Jenny Goater sculpture

Jenny says of her work: I find that using wire translates the drawn line into an exciting three dimensional medium. I derived the technique from armatures constructed to support works in clay or plaster. Wire gives the freedom of drawing in space, and its shapes can suggest dynamic movement or static volume and weight. Read more about Jenny Goater‘s work.

Watch Jenny Goater at work creating her impressive wire sculptures in the gallery today, from 10.15 am – 4.30 pm.

Stay tuned to the blog for Artworks exhibition updates, as a different artist will be demonstrating in the Artworks exhibition every day.
