Crafting with waste Glass and Plaster workshop

Join a team of designers from Good Waste, Other Today and Clear Village to learn about material reuse.

The Urban Mined team experimented with glass and plaster from building sites by crushing, drying and melting them, first in a domestic microwave and later using a hobby kiln. By working at this craft scale the team has innovated circular ways that make it possible to sculpt and re-sculpt the materials into architectural forms that celebrate their flaws.

For London Design Festival we will share this process and use the opportunity as as a conversation starter with architects, designers and industry professionals to discuss the opportunities and challenges of scaling these techniques.

This workshop is free of charge and materials will be provided and you can take away your creations with you.

- This workshop is suitable for adults age 18+

- PPE will be provided and our environment will be safe however please be aware these can be dangerous materials and participants must take part responsibly.

Circular Construction in Regenerative Cities (CIRCuIT) project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme
