Join our RIBA Learning team for an afternoon of moulding, squeezing, and carving with clay.
We’ll look to classical architecture and the RIBA Collection for inspiration in designing and building our own façade; cookie-cutting bricks and bases, squeezing columns and cornices, and decorating capitals and pediments. You’ll also use collage to develop your façade designs before getting stuck in and learning simple clay moulding techniques, adapting tools to form custom shapes, and assembling a building that wouldn’t look out of place in Ancient Rome.
This workshop will take place in the Clore Learning Centre, on the fourth floor of 66 Portland Place, London.
Limited capacity. Booking essential.
