As engineered materials, do plastics have a place in conversations about material tradition and craft technique? This workshop will begin with a "natural history" of plastics, leading us to the classifications and properties of common plastic varieties. We'll learn what methods do (and don't!) work to repair or transform familiar plastic materials. The second phase of the workshop is a guided studio for applying what we learn to repairing, designing, and tinkering. We'll provide a variety of plastics and the tools for working them, but do consider bringing an easily-carried plastic item of your own.This workshop is one of four offered by the Centre’s Luddite-in-Residence, Toronto-based educator and artist Jason Burton, over the course of this academic year.
