Humans have been making furniture from twigs since 3900BC. This workshop combines old and new methods of making. Create bush furniture from foraged branches and a biodegradable plastic with nothing but your hands, and a kettle with Melbourne based designer Dale Hardiman.
You’ll learn how to plan furniture designs, explore different structural techniques and discover how Plastimake works – it’s a biodegrable, remouldable plastic made right here in the ACT.
Participants will explore colour, form and texture to create practical furniture from a range of natural and biodegradable materials.
At the end of the workshop you’ll take home your very own creation, a mind full of new ideas and a pack of Plastimake so you can keep experimenting at home.
Selling fast. Only 20 places available. Bookings are essential.
