When we think of metal, we often think of machines, bridges or tools. Metal is an everyday material; it is stable and heavy, feels cool to the touch, and can be flexible or rigid. One could almost say that the material has a “serious character”. But perhaps metal has even more potential than that?
In this summer workshop, we want to playfully discover the hidden talents of metal as a material.
We will start with a brief exploration of the material, discover simple methods for working with it, draw inspiration from the works of Bauhaus student Heinrich Busse, and finally invent a circus ring full of artists, animals and figures. Made from sheet metal and wire, the figures will ultimately make their grand entrance in the “Tin Circus”.
