Chicken Wire Sculpture Course with Imogen Stafford in Enniscorthy
Our Chicken Wire Sculpture Course is now open for expressions of interest. Led by tutor Imogen Stafford, it runs for eight weeks from Tuesday 20 October, 10.30 to 12.30, and spaces are limited.
What Is the Chicken Wire Sculpture Course?
This is an eight-week, hands-on course where you learn to shape chicken wire into sculpture. Each session is two hours, so there is time to experiment, make mistakes and see your piece take form. Imogen Stafford will guide the group from week to week.
Who Is Your Chicken Wire Sculpture Tutor?
Imogen Stafford is a community artist who has worked mostly in wire since 2016. She takes commissions, exhibits her work and teaches workshops on making wire birds and animals, using methods she developed herself.
Her aim is to meet the community and share her knowledge, whether that means creating artwork together or developing shared spaces. Imogen also has a horticulture background and works with willow, making structures, sculptures and baskets.
Her recent community work includes:
- Wire workshops with a women’s group in Kilrane, where each person made individual pieces from start to finish, and with young people through CAHMS.
- Opera festival 2025, where she exhibited large and small wire sculptures.
- The Bradan Project, a collaboration with another artist and Enniscorthy community groups to create three large salmon, to be exhibited and lit for three months.
- The Prong Project, a tribute to a local fishing vessel on the Barrow, made with Glenmore Women’s Shed.
