Wire Dragonfly Workshop

Come create a Wire Dragonfly sculpture with us on June 13! You'll get to choose a unique piece of driftwood and then create a wire bird to perch on it.

Back by popular demand, we’re excited to welcome Laura Quimet back to Ellis for another wire art workshop! After lots of interest in last year’s wire bird class, this year’s workshop will focus on creating your own wire dragonfly!

Join us on Saturday June 13 from 10:00am – 1:00pm as participants are guided through shaping and building their own dragonfly design to take home. All materials are provided aside from the wood perch, it is encouraged to bring a piece of wood that has special meaning for you, or can be provided with one from our site.

The workshop is $95 per person. Only 16 spots available! Ages 16+ are welcome to do this workshop solo, and ages 12-15 can participate with adult support. Registration will close on June 10.

Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
Time: 10:00am-1:00pm

Cost: $95 per person
