SUMMARY:Sculpture Workshop - Automata
DESCRIPTION:Discover the art of movement and mechanics in this engaging full-day sculpture workshop. \nLed 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. \nTaking 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. \nSuitable 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.
