Festival of Stuff - Saturday Extravaganza

Cel­eb­rate the sheer joy of mak­ing and mater­i­als at the Fest­iv­al of Stuff!

We’re host­ing a one-day, large-scale, drop-in and totally free street fest­iv­al about mak­ing and materials. 

Join the Insti­tute of Mak­ing team for an after­noon filled to the brim with col­lab­or­at­ive activ­it­ies, inter­act­ive demon­stra­tions, delect­able mak­ing mad­ness, free food and live music. Try throw­ing clay on a pot­tery wheel, exper­i­ment with cast­ing met­al, learn the tricks of the black­smith­ing trade, explore the sci­ence of squish­ing, delve into the small but mighty world of super absorb­ent poly­mers and watch a 14-ton steam roller cruise a bespoke crush­ing cat­walk. Plus, much, much more – you won’t want to miss it. 

Be sure to save this spec­tac­u­lar date in your diary and sign up to our mail­ing list to receive fest­iv­al updates and news.

The Insti­tute of Mak­ing is an inter­dis­cip­lin­ary research organ­isa­tion, with a Mater­i­als Lib­rary and a multi-mater­i­al work­shop. Our aim is to provide all those inter­ested in the made world with a cre­at­ive home in which to con­tem­plate all aspects of mater­i­als and their rela­tion­ship to making.

Insti­tute of Mak­ing events are free and open to all.

Date: Fest­iv­al of Stuff takes place Sat­urday 6^th July from 1 – 5pm
