Wire Sculpture Pupils Can Finish

Hands-on sessions for Year 3 and above. Every pupil makes their own recognisable sculpture using simple tools, clear templates and step-by-step guidance.

Looking for a practical art workshop that feels different, challenges pupils and ends with a finished piece they can be proud of? ChickenWired workshops take classes from first piece of wire to a completed sculpture in half-day, full-day or multi-day formats. Suitable for Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 and aligned with National Curriculum requirements.

How the workshop works
Cut. Connect. Create. (and Cover if you choose)

Cut – Pupils use mini cutters to cut shapes from finger-friendly PVC-coated chicken wire, following artist-designed templates.

Connect – They join the pieces with mini bent-nosed pliers to build a 3D form.

Create – Each pupil finishes their own sculpture. Sculptures can stay as clean wire frames or be covered with tissue paper for colour and pattern.

Templates are chosen to match the age group and available time. Every pupil completes a piece. 

Practical benefits teachers value

• Hands-on 3D making that builds dexterity, resilience and problem-solving.
• Clear structure so pupils who think “I couldn’t make that” often surprise themselves.
• Finished, recognisable sculptures that look good and can be displayed.
• Flexible scheduling that fits school timetables (half-day, full-day or multi-day).
• Materials and tools supplied for the session.
