Join sculptor Caitlin Hazell and Moving House Films to celebrate the importance of the objects we collect. In this free workshop, we will be reflecting on the question: “If the Museum of Chelmsford could collect just ONE object to show what your life in Chelmsford is like today, what would it be and why?”.
Using objects you will bring, we will be creating and carving miniature versions in wax, that will undergo the ancient lost wax casting technique, transforming them to bronze, where they will be part of a larger scale installation, co-curated with Spark! in a future museum exhibition. There will also be the chance to be part of a film talking about your object.
Please bring along your chosen object, or a photograph if it is too valuable. No other skills necessary, we'll take you through the techniques you need to take part.
Adults and families welcome. Recommended age 6+ as the workshop contains small parts which may pose a choking hazard. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
