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.

There's something so thrilling about turning metal - which is so elemental - into something organic, natural looking and almost alive

I LOVE IT
“I have been loving the gardening courses so much…I couldn’t decide which one to get…so bought a subscription for the year. I love how each one has a different design (in terms of type and color) - so they truly feel like different experiences. So happy I signed up!”
JESSICA, US
It really is great value
“So much insight into a wonderful range of creative, interiors and gardening options. It is really great value. I've most enjoyed learning about paint with Edward Bulmer - and the practical aspects and insights in Rita's courses have also been so useful. ”
