Festival of Stuff

Thursday 08 June 2023 10:00am - 5:00pm

The Festival of Stuff will take place from 8-17th June

Our terrific (and free!) Festival of Stuff features four fantastic days of bookable masterclasses from 8-11th June before culminating in a big drop-in Saturday Extravaganza of materials and making on 17th June. 

What will be happening:

We kick off the festival with four fantastic days of bookable masterclasses from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th June. These sessions have in the past included carpentry, not-so-expanded-polystyrene moulding, arduino weather stations, Japenese paper making, linoleum printing, pyrotechnic displays, and much more. The festival will end with a large open day, taking over the whole street outside of the Institute of Making. We will be bringing back some of our favourite activities from throughout the year and some new discoveries. Previous activities included; basket weaving, cyanotype printing, sugru throwing, yellow road making painting, teeth cleaning, copper bowl hammering, DNA fabrication, fake marbling and slime making to name a few.
