Come along on Saturday 29 October (11am until 3pm) to a fun-filled day at Bilston Craft Gallery and get involved with our exhibition Reverberation.

Midlands artist Cathy Miles will be making a special appearance to work with visitors to create her amazing interactive artwork  – The Makers Work Bench.  Throughout the day Cathy will work with people using wire to create their own tools and items to add to the work bench.
 
There will be a range of free drop-in activities to have a go at including making an embossed metal medal, discovering the technique of brass rubbing to create intricate designs, and learning how to weave a small vessel using metallic fabrics.
 
Local artist and metalsmith Rajesh Gogna who created a new work for the exhibition will be with us to demonstrate some of his metalworking skills.  Visitors will be able to watch Rajesh at work and talk to him about how he goes about designing and creating new work.
 
Children can win a goody bag of treats by completing our exhibition trail and for our very youngest visitors Craftplay will be open with lots of fun activities.
