School Workshops
Our engaging ChickenWired School Workshops bring art to life, providing a challenging yet enjoyable experience that aligns seamlessly with National Curriculum guidelines.
Equip your students with wire clippers, bent-nosed pliers, and finger friendly PVC coated chicken wire as they embark on a practical and stimulating art day. From Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4, our workshops offer a hands-on approach, guiding pupils through the entire sculpting process. With flexible scheduling options, including half-day, full-day, and multi-day workshops, we maximise participation and accommodate school timetables.
How it works: Cut, Connect, Create… & Cover!
Pupils use mini cutters to precision-cut shapes from wire sheets based on artist-designed templates, examples of the possibilities can be found in the school workshop gallery. Following step-by-step instructions, they connect the pieces using mini bent-nosed pliers, resulting in a unique 3D sculpture. The final touch? Sculptures can be left as sleek wire frames or adorned with vibrant tissue paper, allowing for endless creative patterns and designs.
Tailored for various age groups, our workshops ensure each student, from year 3 and above, completes their own sculpture. For older students, we encourage the exploration of personal designs, breaking down themes into components and creating sculptures that resonate with coursework requirements. Examples of work done and the workshops can be found in the school workshop gallery.
For an even more collaborative experience, inquire about bespoke workshops for larger, collective pieces. Let the world of ChickenWired ignite creativity, turning ordinary wire into extraordinary art.
