Wireform is a specially fabricated metal mesh that is flexible enough to mold, yet strong enough to add structure to clays and modeling materials. Wireform is perfect for the many challenging artists, crafters, architects, and students of sculptural and modeling design. A flat piece of Wireform is easily transformed into three-dimensional shapes by simply molding, crimping, turning, expanding, and gathering. Wireform is available in a selection of expandable and woven wireform patterns, designed to provide a wide variety of arts, crafts, and model-making options. Expandable mesh is made from specially fabricated metals that give flexibility and incredible resistance. Its unique raised diamond strands extend and contract to form three-dimensional shapes. Because it can stretch into tight contours and shapes, it's ideal for more detailed and delicate craft projects.The structural fabric of cables create a grid that assumes different textures as it is curved and molded.
