Sculpture Workshop – Automata

Discover the art of movement and mechanics in this engaging full-day sculpture workshop.

Led by local sculptor Robert Fogell, you’ll design and build your own simple automata - a small mechanical sculpture brought to life through movement. Using a range of mixed media materials, you’ll explore how components interact to create motion, combining creativity with basic mechanical principles.

Taking inspiration from a variety of automata examples, you’ll develop your ideas from concept through to construction, building confidence in both your creative thinking and practical making skills.

Suitable for all abilities, this workshop welcomes complete beginners as well as those with more experience. Robert will offer support and guidance throughout the day, allowing you to experiment, problem-solve and progress at your own pace.
