Wire Sculptor at Wireworks By Nina Lazarou

About

Nina is a self-taught wire sculptor from the Vale of Glamorgan and has refined her skills following a willow sculpture making course when she developed a curiosity in how wire could be manipulated into a recognisable form.  

Nina portrays the feeling of energy and movement in her sculptures and she enjoys the strength, suppleness and versatility that working with wire brings.  Often looking at the Welsh countryside for inspiration, her pieces are constructed by hand using fingers and pliers and she enjoys the spontaneity and freedom of this process. 

Nina continues her involvement in community projects, schools and Brownies groups and charity wire making workshops for The Royal British Legion. She has also run Zoom wire sculpture making wellbeing workshops during the pandemic.

Nina has a Foundation in Fine Art and exhibits her work at shows and galleries throughout Wales and beyond. Nina the Chair of the Vale of Glamorgan Artists (VOGA) and a committee member of the Women’s Art Association Wales (WAAW) and Art Central Friends (ACF). Nina was awarded the Penarth Pavilion Periscope Award for Sculpture 2017.
