NEWHAM UNLOCKED FESTIVAL. Portal sculpture workshop


ART AND SOUL FEST IN PLASHET PARK, CURATED BY APPLECART ARTS

THE CEDAR TENT

The circle is inclusive, it represents the whole. The whole community, no-one excluded. It is an ancient piece of geometry, valued symbolically in every culture and continent across the world.

Help us to build a suspended circle sculpture and create a textile-based installation in the park. Working with artists from Red Door Studios you will contribute to the making of a large 3d willow circle and also create your own small-scale textile based woven art pieces for our installation. Learn about 3d making techniques, working with Willow, weaving and textile design. 

In situ the suspended circle encourages imaginative and creative thought:

It is the iris of an eye which we can look through, it will frame the festival. 
It is a portal to an imagined place
It is the shape of the sun or moon. 

This workshop is suitable for all ages and abilities, Children under 7 will need to work with an adult or older child to complete their artwork. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
