Join our free Titanium Play Day in the STEAMhouse Maker Space! Make your own titanium spork, to your own design. No experience is required!
Facilitated by acclaimed titanium wizard Richard Sewell (https://www.jarkman.co.uk/) (https://www.airgiants.co.uk/), in this workshop you will get hands on and make your own titanium spork, to your own design. Under expert guidance, you’ll cut it from sheet metal and hammer it to shape. No experience is required, and you’ll end up learning some basic sheet-metal technique. Your expert facilitator, Richard, is a maker of many kinds. By day, he spends most of his time at Air Giants, making massive inflatable robots, but he also tinkers with jewellery, tableware, clothes (usually coats for some reason), furniture and luggage to name but a few.
