As part of an ongoing programme of public events Open School East’s ‘Hot Mess’ will facilitate a practical workshop making tools for living in a precarious future.

You will share skills and collaboratively produce improvised functional objects. Using wood, electric, magic and muddy crafts we will resourcefully construct a tool kit for a fictional forecast of our shared ecological hopes and anxieties. You will actively explore the application of materials in troublesome times.

Please join to ponder the future we might be heading towards and the skills/tools we might need for self sufficiency and well-being.

This workshop is open to all ages.

Materials will be provided but bring along rocks, wood, plastic, wires, spells, cloth etc along if you wish.

Open School East is a space for artistic learning and production that is experimental, versatile and highly collaborative.
