A free creative and conversational workshop with artist Sovay Berriman, exploring the topic – ‘damp’.
Join Artist, Plumber and Retrofit Consultant Sovay Berriman for a unique and insightful art workshop hosted by The Museum of Cornish Life.
These art workshops are designed to allow a gentle and creative opportunity to explore the theme of living with damp. We will make artworks using collage, paint, and drawing materials, and share conversation around our experiences.
Touching upon themes such as precarious housing, environmental impacts upon housing stock, and financial and climate-crisis factors, this event is primarily aimed at adults, but open to everyone aged 16+.
This is the first in a series of workshops that are part of Sovay Berriman’s research into living with damp. It is vital that we all are able to contribute to the often confusing conversations about how we heat our homes, how we maintain good indoor air quality, and how we increase our energy efficiency.
This research is ongoing and informs Sovay’s current studio practice, as well as their research around the national transition to energy efficiency and low-carbon heating.
There will be no audio recording, photographs will be taken, however faces will be avoided.
This is a free event but please book a place so that we can make sure there is enough room for all, as space is limited.
Workshop timings are 11am – 1pm – Book here (via Eventbrite)
