Walk and Build with Faith Limbrick

UBST is a type of malleable material. It could be a raincoat, a boot, a spoon, a film, an object, a gate, a text, a happening, a performance, a walk, a garden, a structure a platform, a badge, a thing...

Join multidisciplinary artist Faith Limbrick for a walk around Newtown, where idiosyncrasy & happenstance will be embraced. Draw from the Untutored Builders of Space and Time manual and create work in dialogue with the world as we encounter it. Walking a route that includes Newtown town centre and nearby parks, we'll look at the structures around us and capture their forms through accessible sculptural techniques. Utilising everyday items such as paper and smartphones, the workshop will offer new ways of observing and responding to the world around you, and leave you with new ideas to take to your own creative outlets whether you're an artist, dancer, gardener, musician or teacher. No need to bring art materials, we have all we need to hand...

Please do bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothes!

Faith is an artist based in South Shropshire and works with moving image, sound, performance and sculpture. Her work investigates the functions of the imagination and its relationship to land and landscapes and the agency that non-human materials and creatures hold. The Untutored Builders of Space and Time is a semi-fictional umbrella organisation (one which can be put up then closed and stored in a cupboard somewhere) which creates temporary associations between participants where ideas and resources are shared and activities are coordinated. The UBST’s focus is on building, in whatever form that might materialise as.
