WORKSHOPS

Recycling Sculpture Workshops

Introduction & Taster session with Julia making recycled sculpture after school on Thurs 21 March 2013 6-7pm  

Steeple Arts Centre, Fife, Scotland

Artist Julia Barton will be showing stems of her recycled plant sculpture Heavy Plant Crossing which travelled through the streets of London May 2012 as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival. 

She will demonstrate how she selects used materials and assembles them to make fun recycled sculptures. People will be welcome to browse and select materials to make a small simple relief sculpture to take away. She hopes young people will want to join her in a workshop later in the spring.

RE/form

      

A Recycling Sculpture Workshop - Steeple Arts Centre, Fife

A one day workshop for young people aged between 10-16 years.   Students will learn to use reclaimed objects and materials to make sculptures. Julia will begin with basic sculpture construction, help choose materials then help combine and assemble. She will demonstrate ways to connect different materials before setting a few simple challenges to begin making recycled sculptures

By the end of the day students will have constructed at least one Recycled Sculpture to take home and will have learnt about artists who have used discarded objects to make sculptures.

Students will be asked to bring any unwanted/discarded objects found or given to them for use in the workshop. A wide variety of materials will also be provided. Please come in suitable workshop clothing.

                                               

         The course will be taught by Artist Julia Barton who has made work from galleries, gardens, an American jail, to a bridge over the River Tyne and on the streets of London. A selection of projects can be seen at www.julia_barton.co.uk  Julia was recently featured in The Times.                   

Date to be confirmed 10am – 4pm    Fee £50

Course numbers are limited to ensure a good learning experience.  Minimum numbers are required for the course to run so it is helpful if students can book their place early.
