Fabulous teaching, clear, no fuss, great advice and a voice that's nice to listen to... all last, I'm so fed up of all these trebbly tight throated voices we're subjected to these days. Long live the gentle relaxed voice. And thanks for the great wire sculpture tips!

Thank you for this simple and informative video. I am brand new to wire and this is the first video I have seen regarding it. You have helped me to not worry about how my first few projects will work!

Thank you because I am rubbish but my college teacher expects us to make whole ass insects now that we’ve used wire for three days. This was very helpful and I’ll be looking for the silver tape you used

Ok I for sure need to start overlapping more and get my hands on some metal tape. That’s great tips thank you

Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to start a wire sculpture now!

Great video, mate. Many thanks.

You are amazing!

I loved it especially the tape tip@ ❤

thanks for the video!!

Very informative.👍

THANK YOU x

Did you say 1 millimetres wire, Where to buy thanks. Great video.

Is the silver tape 1 inch aluminium foil tape?

So helpful! I’m a textile artist wanting to explore 3D sculptures. Your taping technique looks perfect. Can you share what type of wire you use? I’m in the US but guessing types and gauges are maybe universal? Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips and work.

For the finished look would I cut off the rest of the tape so it doesn't look messy?

A wire sculpture is hard for the eye to see, as the front and back merge. I think the tape tabs gives a much better look. If you don’t like the tape tabs you just twist on the tape completely. Darcy

What was the wire you showed? I could not understand what you called it.
