Greetings from the Crater of Diamonds! Valentine’s Day is coming soon, and this Valentine’s Weekend Crater of Diamonds State Park will host a fun, hands-on workshop for crafty couples and friends to learn wire crafting!
Wire crafting is the ancient practice of making decorative objects out of wire and other components. Minimal tools are required, the most important being the hands and imagination. On Saturday, February 16, from 2 to 4 p.m., participants will learn about the art of wire sculpture and make a 6″ tree of copper or brass wire, beads, and a stone base from the park. Attendees may also bring their own beads or findings to personalize their creations.
Cost is $30 per tree, including a non-refundable $15 registration fee due by Friday, February 1 (pay the remaining $15 at the visitor center on February 16). Supplies are limited, and a minimum of three trees is required for the workshop to take place. For more information or to register, call Crater of Diamonds State Park at (870) 285-3113 or email CraterofDiamonds@arkansas.com by February 1.
