Mixed Media Sculpture

The Queens Drawers Projects

Event Description

Led by local sculptor Tim Peacock



A sculpture workshop experimenting with and exploring the use of wood, wire, plastics and metals, using hand tools. Looking at images of contemporary sculpture as a starting point you will go on to create a sculptural assemblage. For those wanting to have a go or those more experienced. A fantastic, practical, hands on, one day workshop!



The Event

On Sunday 14 August sculptor Tim Peacock led a full day workshop exploring mixed media sculpture.


Tim provided a great range of materials to use from plastic tubing, wood, wire through to sheet

metals, acrylics and card. Starting with a short overview of contemporary sculpture and sculptors

Tim then introduced participants to sculptural terminology and considerations. With a large range of hand tools available those taking part were encouraged to experiment with form, materials and creativity. Tim challenged people to think and reconsider decisions in their making which resulted in some really creative break throughs! Some phenomenal sculptures were produced.
