Step into a world of rustic elegance and creativity with the third of our Embellished Series – The Embellished Heart of Wire Workshop. In this hands-on class, you’ll transform a supplied Heart of wire frame with recycled Australian fencing wire into a one-of-a-kind decorative piece — charming, whimsical, and uniquely you. Perfect for adding character to your home, balcony, veranda, or garden. Your personalised Heart of Wire is perfect to hang in that spot on the verandah that needs something special.
No experience needed! This relaxed and inclusive workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a mindful, creative escape. You’ll be guided step-by-step through shaping and embellishing your Heart of Wire using a mix of natural and repurposed materials, letting your imagination make your heart beat.
What you’ll enjoy:
- Working with recycled Australian fencing wire

FAQ’s
What to Wear?
Comfortable clothes and shoes are best, wire can be very unforgiving on clothing, so nothing fancy is ideal. Kids activities can some times be a bit messy. No Sunday best, just comfy clothes that can take a bit of creativity!
Do I need to wear gloves?
Yes! If you would like to wear gloves, we ask you to bring your own sturdy garden style of gloves for hygiene purposes. Some gloves are available, they are washed after each lesson.
Minimum Numbers of Participants

Accessibility
Garden of Wire Creative Workshop is located in one of Oberon’s old buildings and has some accessibility limitations. The entry is via two low wide steps. The toilet is located outside via two steps, a narrow side pathway and is a “typical” Australian brick outhouse with limited space. We understand this is not ideal but will assist with steadying hands if required.
