Member Masterclass: The Materiality of Wax (Morning)
Join this event
Ballot open until 18th January 23:59
Explore the material possibilities of wax with interdisciplinary designer, Yesenia Thibault-Picazo.
In this experimental masterclass you'll investigate beeswax, plant-based waxes and synthetic variants, combining them with different pigments, fibres and oils to create a set of tactile samples. Join us to blend, cast, and dip, and leave with a personal Wax Almanach: a small collection of materials and experimental composites to inspire future making and design.
This workshop will begin with a tour of waxes in our newly installed Materials Library in Stratford.
Yesenia Thibault-Picazo is Franco-Colombian interdisciplinary designer based in East London, whose practice explores the narrative and ecological potential of materials. Yesenia uses design to engage people with contemporary environmental questions, focusing on research-led projects that merge inquiry with traditional craft and embodied making.
