In this workshop you will be guided by Harrison Le Lievre, wood worker and assemblage artist, to collate unused personal mementos into your own deep rooted personal piece.

You will be assisted with selection of shape and form of pieces, considering how a piece may show movement or stability, or have a second role rather than its intended one.

The construction methods will include using wire and twine to bind and connect these personal mementos. Wire being both a connector and scaffolding for our parts, and twine being a sustainable and organic alternative to common plastic string.
