Create Cacti and Succulents in Wire with Philippa Johnston

Using different gauges of soft black iron wire, and a range of different techniques, you’ll be looking at the structural and tactile properties of cacti and succulents. The wire is easy to work with using just pliers and your fingers and offers lots of scope to go big or small. You can work from line drawings (supplied) or create your own drawings of the selection of plants available. Expect to come away with one or more plants depending on the scale and level of detail. All materials and tools will be supplied. No experience required - just come and have fun in this friendly and informal class. Suitable for 18+.

Philippa Johnston is a metalwork artist based in Dunning in Perthshire who works sculpturally with recycled tin, wire, clay and other materials. Instagram: @philippajohnston257
