In this workshop we will use images of a Emu in order to understand how to construct a correctly proportioned wire armature. Building a wire frame gives strength to your work and makes it bendable to pose. Once the armature is made we will look at how to add pipe cleaners, core wool, and topcoat to bring the emu to life.
