This Ancient Bronze Casting Workshop is part of this year’s Material Laboratories, where the material focus is all things metal. Material Laboratories is a National Sculpture Factory programmatic strand that each year focuses on specific material researches and medium specific practices through an intensified series of Masterclasses, workshops, lectures and open discussion. This year the focus is on Metal.
The Metal Festival will run from August to October 2024.
The full programme can be found on the National Sculpture Factory website: https://nationalsculpturefactory.com
Run by artist Helle Helsner and assisted by Roisin Foley. Helle Helsner has travelled the world exploring ancient bronze casting in its most rudimentary form.
Participants will get to make their own clay ancient furnaces and use simple charcoal as fuel, and produce small bronze works during the workshop.
