Running a circuit bending workshop in Kidderminster, Worcestershire!

doctea · March 23, 2011, 10:42:51 AM

Hello everyone,

I've got the option to run a circuit bending workshop in Kidderminster in Worcestershire as part of the arts festival.

Still in the planning stages here and was wondering if anyone is able to volunteer their assistance in preperaration, or running the workshop on the day? Or even to come along on the day!

Thinking of running a bending workshop during the day and then doing a performance with the bent instruments in the evening or something like that. Would love to hear from people with experience running something like this - things to think about etc!

If you've got any interest in coming along or in helping out or offering advice please post below - thanks very much!

Sounds like fun, and not a million miles from me either. I'd be up for coming along to something like that

The Arts Festival brochure is up now, with the Circuit Bending workshop listed.

If anyone who is on the more experienced side (with bending or soldering or drilling or decorating) and wants to help out, please get in touch

Suggestions for the day, or ideas of what 'kit' of bits I should put together for the attendees to use to bend (and places to buy them cheap) also gratefully accepted!

Well that went really well! Thank you for making the topic sticky, it can be removed now.

It was an EXTREMELY popular event with lots of people saying they wished they could have come but for work/distance, so if any of you wanted to do the same thing in your area there's definitely a 'market'!

I'll post a write up and some pictures at some point!

i hate my job!

im glad it went well though, i look forward to seeing the write up and pics
