Description of session
Come and join us in the Crafts Council Gallery for a fun and relaxed evening with material designer and artist Ella Bulley. Responding to a mix of found materials and objects, you’ll have a chance to ‘make first’ while learning directly from Ella.
Ella will share her practice as a material designer and artist who creates material explorations that straddle collectable design and visual art. Learn how to use found objects and remnants as materials to make something new. Take part for your own enrichment, while also learning how to use your new-found skills to support classroom learning.
Details of activity
Through the exploration of found objects including fragments of ceramic, trinkets and gems, shells and other natural materials, you will create a 3D object which reflects your own story and creative vision. You’ll have a chance to apply Crafts Council’s Make First pedagogy: diving straight into making and using materials to develop your ideas. You’ll then use assemblage techniques to create your object, playing with shape, form and decoration.
Participants are encouraged to bring along some of your own small objects, keepsakes, and fragments to incorporate into and personalise your creation.
