workshop

Upstart: BROKEN STOOL Workshop

Friday 8 November

Join Joseph Donald in the studio to design, test and construct.

Using off-cuts, broken, or found materials, we’ll create a practical object. In this hands-on, experimental session, you'll explore the process of when materials become complete, functional, or purposeful. Come along to try out different design techniques, experiment with new tools and materials, and craft a working object.

V&A Dundee's Young People's programme is funded by the Mathew Trust.

About the artist:

Joseph Donald is a Dundee based artist, musician, and maker. With a helping of humour and absurdity he investigates the work/play relationships inherent in creative practices - allowing for great swathes of investment in professionally justified silliness. Through painting, sound and forays into fine joinery, he uses found/waste materials to create objects where play meets function, and being meets belonging.
