Make a Beautiful Garden Dragonfly Sculpture in Wire NEW

In this course, you will make a large, galvanised steel wire dragonfly for the garden. You will learn a technique used in willow weaving to form a central, long body. The wire ends are then used to form eyes, tentacles, etc.
Then using separate wire pieces 2 sets of wings are applied and the whole sculpture is mounted on a bamboo cane.

The dragonfly can stay in the garden all year and over time will eventually rust.
However if you wish to keep your dragonfly indoors, it can be adorned with sparkly glass beads.

The sculpture is hard work on the hands and unsuitable for anyone with arthritis in the
hands. You also have to stand up to make the body for about 1-1.5 hours. You can take a rest of course.

We will also be using tools including pliers and wire cutters. Protective goggles will be
encouraged as you are dealing with long springy wire.
