AMACO WireForm Mesh – Expandable Sculpting Armature

AMACO WireForm Mesh is a versatile sculpting armature designed to provide both flexibility and structural support for a wide range of creative projects. Made from specially manufactured metal mesh, it is easy to shape while remaining strong enough to hold form under clay, plaster, papier mâché, and other modeling materials.

The unique expandable diamond pattern allows the mesh to stretch and contour into three-dimensional shapes with ease. Artists can mold, crimp, twist, gather, and expand the material to create everything from simple forms to highly detailed structures.

WireForm is especially useful for building lightweight armatures that reduce material usage while maintaining strength. Heavier mesh options are ideal for supporting denser materials like polymer clay or casting compounds.

Available in rolls or folded sheets, WireForm adapts to projects of all sizes—from classroom crafts to advanced sculptural work.
