"I
was alone in the world or so I thought for many years working with
wire... I started with wire in the 60s when there wasn't much published
about wire working."
"I have been working with wire since.....1972... I guess..4th grade...
I thought I was the only wire person around... "
"I have been longing for this kind of guild for a long time..."
"I did not realize the size of the community of wire
artists."

In 2004 Elizabeth Berrien founded
Wire
Sculpture International, the worldwide guild of wire sculptors. This
guild is still in the formative stages - we're still accepting
submissions to our first Wire Sculpture Directory. During 2005 we hope
to launch our web site, and eventually attain our non-profit status.

The
Mission of Wire Sculpture International
to create
and maintain a web Directory of international wire sculptors
to create
and maintain a web site to fulfill as many aspects of our mission as
possible
to enable
wire sculptors to find, identify and communicate with each other
to gain
greater visibility, credibility, prestige and respect for wire
sculpture as a medium
to create
and/or increase standards of quality and workmanship within the medium
(design, durability, etc) (define student, amateur &
professional status, etc)
to promote
the furtherance of the medium
to conduct
specific promotion to museums, fine art galleries, etc to improve their
view of wire sculpture as a medium (traveling exhibits, juried shows,
etc)
to research
and document the history of the medium while 20th century pioneers and
innovators are still living
to create
a wire sculpture reference library
to share
wire sculpture techniques
to explore
applications of creative wire sculpture technique to industrial
applications
to document
the diversity and evolution of emerging techniques within the medium
to create
publications about wire sculpture, including textbooks on "how to"
to create
wire sculpture workshops for educators to encourage "open-ended" wire
sculpture classes.
To create
scholarships and other awards for promising wire sculptors and students
to promote
the personal and professional well-being of wire sculptors including
to provide
group/volume opportunities/discounts in insurance, merchant services,
advertising, promotion (web design, etc) workshops on marketing and
other business skills, bulk/group buying, conventions, exhibits, etc
To encourage
and enable students as well as experienced wire sculptors to explore
and invent new wire sculpture techniques.
