ART PACKS

Join Artist and Researcher Helen Pynor and Creative Producer Lizzie Crouch for three experiential workshops. Through hands-on experiences, the workshop series will explore the materiality of actual bone, its use in bone china making, and the fluid identities of temporary and/or hidden disabilities and mobility disabilities.

Drawing on bone china technologies, metal artefacts, and wax casting and forming, participants will reflect on their own body and experiences to create a series of personal objects. These objects will form an artwork to be exhibited at Gallery Lane Cove that represents a collective material exploration of (dis)ability identity – now, in the past or into the future.

Whilst this workshop will explore mobility disability - either short lived or on-going, past or present - there is no requirement that workshop participants have lived experiences of disability. We welcome makers, those with lived experience of disability, and anyone else with an interest in the subject matter. In reviewing the expressions of interests we will seek a wide variety of lived experiences and skills that may be shared during the course of the three workshops.
