About this event

Free making workshop in the Artist's Garden Claire Appleby Wed, 08/07/2026 - 16:48 Saw, drill and paint your own wooden sculpture with artist Alice Wilson. 29 July 2026 We are excited to share details of an upcoming free workshop at The Artist's Garden for Westminster residents and students aged 13 to 18 and we would love you to join us. On Tuesday 28 July, 10am to 1pm, artist Alice Wilson will be leading a hands-on wood sculpture session at theCOLAB. You will saw, drill and paint your own piece, then combine it with your group to build one large collaborative assemblage - inspired by SAVOY, a sculpture that lives at the heart of the garden.Alice Wilson is a sculptor whose work uses the materials of construction, such as timber, paint and nails, not to build but to ask questions about home, place and belonging. SAVOY is a dense vertical forest of brightly coloured construction timbers with schematic outlines of dwellings thrust aloft at their tips. A work that dissolves material and architectural hierarchies, leaving plentiful evidence of each process as part of the meaning. In this workshop you will work with the same instincts: cutting, drilling and assembling timber into forms that start as individual pieces and finish as one collective assemblage.No experience needed.
