Making Ways and Making Whys
Drop in to Broadway Gallery to make a simple mess and make space for spontaneous conversation and questions.
Explore notionally simple green woodworking tools and techniques. Working with a tree, asking what it might become if we let it be.
Resources and materials provided. This drop-in session does not require a booking.
Split, hew, talk, carve, chop, listen, shape...
Does how we talk about things, with or to things, the words we attach to things, make a difference? Does the way we talk to, with or about matter, matter? Is there still a value in older ways of working as we begin building in new ways?
About By Our Hands We Make Our Way
Martin Sommerville is an artist and woodworker who runs creative workshop space By Our Hands We Make Our Way in Sneinton Market Avenues, Nottingham.
By Our Hands We Make Our Way is here to accompany, to gently nurture & surprise. To build a ramshackle bridge, improvised & invisible, out of art, experience and whatever else is handy, for folk to balance on & leap from. Shaping the world together in meaningful ways whatever our perceived abilities. Forgetting failure & finding joy!
