Workshop – Building Organic Forms Using Basic Techniques

During this session we will be focusing on finishing some aesthetic detailing on an indoor facade. 2 full days of sharing some of our simple building techniques with hands-on experience realizing some cool installations like:

• transforming temporary use thin wooden vegetable crates into the structural framework for a 3D organic twisting curve

• shaping and cutting the frame for curved work surface

• using tree branches to create aesthetic installations

• applying clay to a section of wall (Lehmputz)

+ We will have several other smaller projects to work on as well including some basic wood working, making up-cycled chairs from tetra paks and a few other basic projects…

Experts, intermediate and beginners are welcome to join but you must have health insurance to participate… We have a range of basic tools we will work with.
