Wire Portrait Class
 with Diane Komater

​

In this class I will guide students in making a 3-D contour drawing of a person with dark steel wire. No prior experience necessary. With a little effort, you will learn how to draw with wire. At the end of class, you will have a realistic wire rendering of your subject, suspended by a wire box. Your wire portrait will cast an interesting shadow giving your image depth. I love it! 

​

Bring to class an 8x10 headshot\ black and white copy of someone or yourself, (the bigger the face the better), and a pair of needle nose pliars. I will supply the wire and will have extra pliars on hand. 

I have been bending wire for over 30 years and am self taught. My work can be seen; diane_komater Instagram, dianekomater.com, UMA Gallery in Oakland, FreeHand Gallery in Los Angeles and by appointment with The Wireist at; thewireist@gmail.com
