Using clay, we invite you to explore different ideas for public seating suitable for gatherings and social interaction as well as for quiet contemplation and model them for our site at Halfpenny Steps.We will discuss different ways people like to sit and how much space we need to sit comfortably, as well as how design can support people with varying needs to feel safe, comfortable and included.The first part of the workshop will focus on the overall form, shape and identity of the seating and explore how it might work next to an area proposed for new planting – and in the second part, we will take a sample area to develop in more detail.This workshop is suitable for people 18 years of age or over and particularly if you are interested in design and public space. All materials will be provided.
