# Event Details - **Event Name**: Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Create your own felted sculpture that vibrates and is programmed with your own music. Learn to felt and solder in the same workshopAbout this EventJoin us for a workshop where participants will incorporate sound and vibration in order to create their very own felted vibrotactile soft sculpture with artist Leslie Putnam. This workshop involves creating works that encourage multi-sensory exploration and removes the barrier of “do not touch” in artworks. Participants will learn how to solder a transducer to speaker wire and connect it to a mini amp. In addition, you will learn the skills to felt using foam and wool roving in order to create a small handheld sculpture. When connected to a mini amp, the sculpture will transform into your very own vibrotactile artwork.All Materials will be provided. However, participants are encouraged to bring a sound piece or music on a jumpdrive/USB Stick to create the sound/vibrational element for their sculpture.Space is limited in this workshop. If you would like to work in a team of two please register for 1 workshop spot and contact: collaboratory@forestcitygallery.comFacilitated by Leslie Putnam, a London Ontario based Artist and Educator. She earned her BFA from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec with a Major in Studio Art, and BEd from Western University in London, Ontario. Putnam’s work includes exhibitions in Europe and in Ontario, her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions including Electric Eclectics, Toronto-(NuitvBlanche and Hard Twist), JNAAG, Museum London and the Canadian Clay and Glass Museum. She has received research, exhibition, and multi and inter arts projects grants from the Ontario Arts Council. As a multi-disciplinary artist, Leslie creates multi-modal sculptures and installations on the premise that sculpture can and should include the ability of access though multiple senses, removing the barrier of “do not touch”created by the limitations of institutions. In 2010 she and David Bobier formed the o’honey collective as a platform for research and creation relating to the natural world.Fore more information about Leslie Putnam and vibrotactile sculptures visit: https://www.leslieputnam.com/ofand.html https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/a7f01620-641b-11f1-9c86-c3d3270d49a7-rimg-w887-h740-dcc0c1c0-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a837a670-641b-11f1-9c86-c3d3270d49a7-rimg-w493-h740-dcf5f4f6-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/building-a-vibrotactile-soft-sculpture/100001990515459322 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Workshops, Exhibitions - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Forest City Gallery - **lat**: 42.9980483 - **long**: -81.2169533 - **full address**: Forest City Gallery, 1025 Elias Street, London, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7dfd2c9685785bd413582fdc0052ea3b0f10906e97ecf95bd90662da69a312e4-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781072236 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture being held? - **A:** Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture takes place on Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Forest City Gallery, 1025 Elias Street, London, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture? - **A:** Building a Vibrotactile Soft Sculpture is organized by Forest City Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
