MAKER series: Bicycle-part fence design and assemblage
Event description
Join master upcycler and sculptor Andrew Hall in this one-off workshop to design a fence utilising waste bicycle parts.
In this workshop, learn tips and tricks when dealing with metals. You are welcome to have a go, gaining metal working skills such as cutting and drilling.
As a group we will get creative to assemble random parts into a cohesive whole. The fence will become a functional feature at the entrance of EcoMatters 'Lookout' building.
Later in the afternoon, you are welcome to stay and watch Andrew weld the assembled parts into the final structure.
