Experience level: none needed. Just an openness to working together
In this workshop, we will explore the potential of simple but effective metal working methods such as bending, rolling, welding. Through these techniques, we will collaboratively create objects, tools, structures which, through the process of their making, explore methods of facilitating intimacy, collaborative growth and familiarity with the rest of the group members.
Tools for intimacy
How can we use principles of feminist design education to develop tools of collective intimacy? This workshop aims to create an accessible technical work space, using principles of collaboration, and exploring the intimate process of making together to create better material learning environments.
Working as a full group and in pairs, this two day workshop will combine practical metalworking techniques including; grinding, welding, bending, rolling with activities exploring the process of working and making together. We will be employing collaborative learning methods throughout the process.
The physical outcome of the workshop is dependent on the participants design choices. Examples of potential directions will be offered at the start of the workshop. We will be using either stick welding or mig welding.
No metal work experience required, just an openness to learn together;
This workshop is open to all, but we would like to make room especially for people who would otherwise not feel comfortable in technical workshop spaces.
We also would love to know if you have specific directions or experience you would like to bring to the workshop, its can be technical or not.
Please write this down in the comments section when purchasing your ticket.
