Wire Sculpture & Wine on a Boat

Welcome aboard the Art boat & enjoy a relaxing introductory taster session into wire sculpture in this memorable 2 person experience! You can create a quirky creative addition to your home on the chilled deck of a vintage Caribbean Cruiser boat on Portavon marina, working away from all the hustle and bustle on the peaceful riverside setting.

Your host will be Barbara; an award winning artist and sculptor. Barbara will have everything you need including inspiration, wire, beads and tools. She’ll help you create your own (small-scale) wire sculptures with a range of flexible, easy to use, different coloured wires to work with. There will be examples available to work from and you can of course come with your own ideas, or just get inspiration from exploring the materials.

If you would like to book other times/dates in the please contact Barbara, they can be arranged

Enjoy a glass of wine or hot drink & biscuits to get cosy as you discover your creative side and have a relaxing sculpture session whilst floating in the beautiful waterside setting of Portavon marina on the River Avon :)

Age restrictions: 16+
