28 – 31 August
Mon–Thu 9.30am–4.30pm

Opening: 31 August, 4.30–5.30pm
Artist/s: Yutaka Minegishi

A four-day masterclass in which participants will use wood as a starting point. The objective will be to carve a ring for the hand and to delve into this process. Using the porous and structural properties of wood participants will work using essential processes to explore contemporary forms. Goldsmiths build and model using metal components, sections and constituents to join and build form and structure. In this Masterclass, Yutaka Minegishi will lead participants to use wood as a material and work only with the reductive and subtractive techniques to produce form by carving and stripping back material. The objective is to reach a unique and unrepeatable form, a work that could not be visualised before beginning. Participants will explore intuitively with wood to look for unexpected details, lines and forms in their own finished pieces and to explore their personal response to the material.
