In high school, my Metals teacher assigned was a brass wire and pantyhose project, mainly to teach us how to form, bend, and solder brass rod together. We just did brass soldering in our class but some of the previous years had covered their brass wire forms in pantyhose that was sewed around the rods. I couldn’t find any exact examples but here’s a similar project in the archive:

There’s not many examples online but here’s a photo of the basic construction/concept:
One of my professors at VCU, Kendall Buster, also does a similar process in her work:
