Gathering Wands: Walk and Carving Workshop with Harri Harrison

IMT Gallery

A twilight walk through Victoria Park, gathering and carving wands.

Centred on Harri Harrison’s sculptural Wands series in the group exhibition <a href="https://imagemusictext.com/exhibition-the-house/" title="https://imagemusictext.com/exhibition-the-house/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The House</a> at IMT Gallery, this workshop invites a shared evening of wandering, foraging and making.The workshop begins with a twilight walk through Victoria Park, led by multimedia artist Harri Harrison. Moving along desire paths, the group will allow themselves to wander off the obvious routes, gathering found natural materials along the way. These paths offer a subtle, gentle form of resistance, a space for slower attention and observation.Returning to <a href="https://imagemusictext.com/" title="https://imagemusictext.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IMT Gallery</a>, we will gather our foraged materials and create our own wands using a combination of carving and binding techniques. The session concludes with a guided meditation and meditative drawing exercise. Together we will explore what it means to hold found natural materials, noticing how our focus shifts between objects, ourselves, and the connections they hold.No previous experience needed, and natural materials and tools will be provided. Feel free to bring your preferred drawing materials and any found items you would like to work with, such as stones, sticks, shells, dried flowers, wood, or string for binding. Please wear suitable footwear and clothing for walking, as paths may be slightly muddy. If you have any questions or specific access needs, please feel free to get in touch.
