In-School Fieldtrips

       **I offer dozens of projects aside from the ones quoted here. Don't hesitate to ask for more info...*                        

                            My In-School Programming Information

My focus is hands on learning activities. These in-school field trips are developed to enhance your students’ understanding for specific areas of study and nurture creativity. These projects are tactile and a great introduction to Wire Art.

I bring all the tools required to run these field trips. All we need is the space to work in, and the adult Volunteers to help supervise the activities!

I offer the convenience of a Field trip/Workshop that comes to your school which saves the expense of busing and the loss of classroom instructional time for your students. 

                              I provide curriculum centered programming for;

  • Grade 3-6 -Special Occasion Bookmarks Or Photo Holders (Mothers Day, Father's Day etc.)
  • Grade 5-6- Art, Religion, Trees & Forests Areas of Study, and Holiday Themed Art
  • Grades 7-9- Art, Religion, Environmental Studies & Outdoor Studies, and Holiday Themed Art
  • Grade 10-12 - 2D & 3D Wire Sculpture and Holiday Themed Art


                                        Field Trip Guidelines


                                         Class Sizes

Maximum enrollment is 35 students in one sitting. If on the day of the field trip, more than 35 students are in attendance, there will be a surcharge per extra student. The min. number of staff and volunteers required must be met. This number may vary and will be set at the time of booking. 

If 2 or more sessions are booked on the same day it would be helpful if they are held in the same room.

                              A Little About me...

I am an award winning Canadian wire Artist and Educator from Edmonton, Alberta. I have always been artsy and as a former Education Assistant with Edmonton Public schools, I have always loved working with children and youth.

In 2015 I began this wonderful journey by starting my creative business, We-met Wire Work. I am involved in the YEG and area Maker movement and I can be found in Galleries, Markets and Art walks around Alberta. I am a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Sculptors Association of Alberta, Society of Canadian Artists as well as several Art Clubs.

My wire Art has found homes in 13 countries across the world including exotic places like Japan, Argentina, Spain, and Norway. I believe firmly in supporting our communities, and have donated consistently to local charities.

The teaching side of my business was created to provide unique experiences for students of all ages, and I continue to develop and expand with new field trips, and workshops.

I believe that the hands-on projects that I offer, enrich and enhance the curriculum by making it fun and interesting for teachers and students alike. Offering students unique, high quality, fun and interesting projects is of utmost importance to me.

Its an absolute thrill for me to see my students, young and old, have that moment of wonder and satisfaction when they realize they’ve created one of the seriously cool projects I offer!

I offer Team Building, and Fundraising opportunities as well! Pricing and projects differ from those listed above. Please contact me for those details.  

Thanks so much for popping in!
