Learn from Jess Wheeler

Draw inspiration from nature’s organic forms to create beautiful brass objects with metalworker and artist Jess Wheeler. Discover how simple everyday items - such as tomato puree tubes, nail scissors, paint brushes, books and pins - can be used to transform a sheet of recycled metal into a delicate work of art. From her studio in rural Wales, Jess will show you how to source materials in all sorts of unlikely places and how to turn your sketches into sculptures with this wonderfully versatile craft. Through three increasingly challenging projects - featuring a botanical study in brass, a collection of wire leaves and a large scale hanging garland.

Making Botanical Art with Metal

I want to demystify making out of metal just using simple tools and things that you can do at your kitchen table. There's something so thrilling about turning a raw material into something really organic and natural looking.
