Spheres and Hearts Workshop

The initial part of this workshop teaches the art to making a wire armature, this is the frame that will give structure to the sphere that will be woven with Pinot Noir grape vines from Annabel’s 2-acre vineyard.

The art of weaving a heart starts with Annabel teaching how to create the armature (frame) and then depending on size weaving with Vine canes from her vineyard or willow for smaller sculptures.

The workshops are held in her studio in West Kelowna overlooking her vineyard, the Okanagan valley and towards the surrounding mountains including Big White Mountain. Wear sunscreen, gardening gloves and a hat or warm clothing if the weather is changeable .
