Wire Art Workshops
The Storytelling Machine and Saturday Morning Workshops​​
​
Always Imagine Wire Art Workshop and James and Lynn Paterson invite you to a wire art experience inspired by James’ picture book, Saturday Morning and to see James’ accompanying moving wire sculpture The Storytelling Machine. In the workshop, James will read from Saturday Morning and perform and The Storytelling Machine to your delight.
​
Then you will have several hours with James and Lynn to build, create, and twist your own wire art creations. It’s like drawing in 3D except you get to poke your fingers, play with tools, and enjoy listening to what the “wire says to you”.
Let your imagination run free and invite the child in you to engage. Come, enjoy, and - Always Imagine!
Workshops are tailored for schools, libraries, or private events.
