Members Event: Animatronic Eye Making Masterclass
Thursday 02 October 2014 9:30am - 12:30am
Participants will build an animatronic copy of their own eye! The sessions will begin by demonstrating how to make a mould of your eye and how to use this to cast a latex copy of your eyelid. The next step will be to construct a mechanism to mount a doll’s eyeball so that it can move from side to side, then stick the eyelids over them. You will even be able to take the eye home!

Member Event: Luted Crucible Bronze Casting
Monday 21 July 2014 10:00am - 5:00pm
Luted or sealed crucible casting is low a cost, and low-tech method of casting, relatively unknown outside India and West Africa. Artist Piers Watson has been teaching it all over the world, and has come to lead us in a week-long exploration of how bronze making was done since the early days of its history.
