Wire and Gemstone Mini Tree making experience.

Wire and Gemstone mini Tree making experience –  one day workshop.

Have you ever looked at the beautiful gemstone trees and wondered how they are made? Come on this 1 day, in-person workshop and make your own mini gemstone tree.

Over the course of the day, you will learn how to make a mini tree using wire and a selection of gemstones. Sometimes called a Tree of Life, Bonsai or Wishing Tree, this one day workshop is also suitable for beginners as full instruction will be given. Fun and learning guaranteed! Small class size for individual attention. Adult only.

The workshop will be held on Saturday 8th March, in Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, Tulsk, Co. Roscommon. There is ample parking, onsite cafe and museum. We will be working in an upstairs room, there is no lift.

Enjoy a few hours away from the everyday. Treat it as an exercise in mindfulness or a day to explore your own creativity, making a unique wirework sculpture. This would also be a wonderful day to gift someone special or to treat yourself.

I provide a selection of wire (0.4mm) and genuine gemstones to make your tree. I also bring some small stones and you can use one to set your tree on. You can, of course, bring your own found stone or piece of wood or even a small cup, bowl etc to sit your tree on. The finished tree will be approx. 7cm tall (not including the stone etc that it is sitting on). Each mini tree is a unique handmade sculpture in wire.

All necessary tools will be available to use. Tea and coffee provided.

Images are for illustration and inspiration only, each tree made will be different.
