All wired up Priscilla Jones June Meeting 2014

This month we were lucky to have Priscilla Jones take our June workshop. Whenever we think of Priscilla we think of tea cups and saucers imbibed with her own delicate charm. She is now moving on to working in porcelain with found pieces of interest. Some of her pieces are below.

We were going to make either a 2D or 3D structure with wire. Priscilla showed us how to twist the wire and squeeze the twists with pliers. As soon as we had decided what to make we set about twisting our wire into the shapes we wanted, which was not as easy as Priscilla made it look!

We then cut up fine material such as silk or chiffon and applied it to the structure with hot wax which gave a delicate translucent effect.

We were then able to stitch into the structure and sew on buttons beads etc..

Most of us either finished or nearly finished our structures and we took our efforts home proudly. All thanks go to Priscilla for such a fun and enjoyable day.
