About this workshop
In this one-day workshop you will discover the joys of working with tin and learn how to make a Christmas wreath or festive decorations out of recycled materials with artist Philippa Johnston. Using old biscuit tins, or other recycled tin material, get creative making Christmas decorations inspried by the festive season and natural environment. Follow tradition with ivy and holly leaves, red berries and bow, or opt for a more contemporary look with colourful flowers which can be enjoyed all year round. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have done it before, but want to further their practice.
What to bring
Plenty of examples will be on hand for inspiration along with templates you can use, but do bring along any designs, images or objects of your own for inspriation. All materials and tools will be supplied.
About the tutor
Philippa is a metalwork artist who ‘draws’ with wire, creating pieces that sit somewhere between 2D and 3D. She also works sculpturally with recycled tin, clay and other materials. Her work reflects her love of animals and birds and her fascination with folk and children’s art. She teaches all day workshops in both creating with wire and recycled tin at the centre throughout the year.
