well worth a look at this: working wonders with bamboo
a collective group of young creative minds who explore heritage and traditional crafts in a modern day context. Meetings: every Tuesday 4pm-5pm at ArtworksMK
Tuesday 30 October 2012
In the beginning...
On September 25th 2012, a select number of students from Stantonbury school came together to create FOR'M- a youth forum that existed within ArtworksMK, Great Linford.
After 5 group meetings, 2 encounters with local artist/practitioners and a lot of constructive doodling, a project was devised...the making of a heritage hut.
Over the next few months, FOR'M will focus on learning and using four crafts traditional to the area: blacksmithing, straw-plaiting, lace-making and green woodworking; and aim to explore new techniques during the making of our on-site installation. The final conclusion of the project will result in an opening event, inviting friends, family and inquisitive visitors to enjoy and marvel at the wonders of these fast fading crafts.
This site is dedicated to the progress of the project, and the many influences that inspire FOR'M as they push their creative boundaries to new levels!
