At 6:00 p.m. on January 23 Ron Headings will do a demonstration at Ten Thousand Villages of Bluffton on how he twists wire into roots and branches and attaches it to a base material to make a tree sculpture.

Headings started making wire trees as a teenager in Kansas, inspired by his love of horticulture and the coaching of a local county extension agent. “These trees are like people, the forest like humanity,” writes Ron. “They come in an infinite number of colors, shapes, and sizes, each one beautiful in its own way. The trees, like people, are shaped by their genetic structure and by the environment in which they live.”

Headings’ wire trees will also be on display at Ten Thousand Villages until January 31. Headings' business gives back to a cause that he cares about. For every tree sold, he donates money to plant a real tree somewhere in the world.
