Participants will work together to make a drum machine out of drawings and elements, recording and uploading samples together [sounds tricky, but is surprisingly achievable and intuitive]. We’ll work with a pedal powered kinetic generator to play back these sounds, literally generating some electricity in the space.
BOOKING essential due to limited numbers.

Responding to the idea of collections, how we categorise and what draws us to particular images and ideas, participants will learn how to create movable paper collages, which they then animate!
