Weekend: Thinking Big- public art and outdoor sculpture 6th and 7th September

£165.00

This course is designed for artists and designers eager to explore and develop ambitious ideas for the public realm or those just wishing to explore working on a bigger scale. Participants will engage in a dynamic two day course that encourages innovative thinking, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by scaling up ideas. Through a series of hands-on workshops and discussions, you will learn to conceptualise and execute scale models (maquettes) that respond to a site both conceptually, visually and materially. The course will enable you to understand the practicalities involved. You will develop projects that respond to how a space is used, sustainability, and community engagement, empowering you to develop your sculptural practice onto the next level.

Level: Beginners/ intermediates Tutor: Julian Wild
