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

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.

Genista Dunham : Pulped Media


Genista Dunham, papiér mache vessels


Genista says of her work: My medium is papier-mâché; a synergising process both of accretion and erasure through painting, soaking, and abrasion, using plaster, wax and oils. A sense of layered history evolves through the depository of matter.

See Genista Dunham demonstrating pulped media techniques in the main gallery today, from 10.15 am – 4.30 pm.
