About

SAT 27 JULY 2:30-4pm // FREE & OPEN TO ALL

BOOK >

Join the assembly line! Presented with a set of materials, equipment and moulds of an unknown object, this session will see attendees assist in the production of an artwork. Learn about fundamentals of casting and it’s history as an early means of reproduction and manufacture, in this practical introductory session led by artist and fabricator Nick Tudor and researcher Will Stronge. The workshop will ask us to examine our roles and complicity within contemporary labour systems and global economies of production and consumption, as well as question the function of work as a method of organising our lives.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended, as spaces are limited.
