9:30 am

Join us for a one-day materials exploration workshop that invites you to delve into the creative possibilities of recycled and natural materials, with a special focus on mould-making and glass.

This workshop is designed to push the boundaries of traditional design, exploring the intersection of more-than-human nature, feminist principles, and craft technologies.

Throughout the day, you’ll investigate how to create functional yet evocative pieces that challenge conventional ideas about the relationship between humans and the natural world. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on the role of the body and its interaction with space and objects, all while engaging in tactile, slow-making processes.

 

This workshop is an opportunity to explore sustainable, empathetic design that emphasises collaboration between humans, materials, and the environment. Whether you’re a designer, maker, or just curious to learn, this workshop offers a unique chance to expand your creativity in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.

All levels welcome. No mould making experience is required. Pre-booking is a must.


Special Thanks To

Fiona Byrne
