Be inspired by the Radical Craft exhibition and the use of old and found objects. Bring along old paperback or hardback books and use the pages to draw, paint, cut and fold to create unique art and sculptures.

Laura Hamilton, Radical Craft exhibition co-curator, takes a closer look at the creative processes of the makers represented in the exhibition, and how the development of their unique practices provides a sense of timelessness, uncommon in the field of mainstream, contemporary craft. Laura was the Director of the Collins Gallery, Glasgow, for 25 years.

Using the work of Pascal Tassini and Judith Scott featured in the Radical Craft exhibition, create experimental mini scuptures using found objects, threads and fabrics. Are you going to hide your chosen objects or reveal what’s hidden inside?

Outside In Manager Jennifer Gilbert will lead a tour of the exhibition.

For many of the artists involved with Outside In, communicating using language is not possible. Because of this, many of them use their art to communicate with the people around them, and to share their worlds with others. To accompany the exhibition, Outside In is hosting a panel discussion focusing on art as communication, looking at how creativity can be vital for people without language to maintain their independence.

Based on the work of Finnish Outsider Artist Erkki Pekkarinen featured in the Radical Craft exhibition, come and construct 3D forms by weaving, plaiting and bending different materials. Use bright plastics, twigs and rushes, to experiment and play in this workshop.

Come and create a face using air dry clay. Explore the Radical Craft exhibition, use your imagination and be inventive adding old things that you recycle onto your art. Bring along bits and pieces to add such as buttons, wool, old jewellery or anything that would bring your face to life.
