Sculpt your own tiny, movable companion with Sam Selley by creating an armature using a cork, wire and aluminium foil.

Once the armature is complete, use vegetable-based plasticine to bring their armature to life – whether it’s an imaginative creature, your favourite animal, or a miniature version of yourself.

This workshop is part of our ‘Kitchen Tables’ workshop area – a space for exploring making connected to the many uses of our dining spaces, and what they mean to us.

About Sam Selley

Sam Selley is an artist and workshop facilitator, whose work spans a range of mediums including claymation/stop motion animation, papier-mâché, printmaking, collage, painting and whittling. They are interested in making art more accessible for a wider range of audiences by introducing the use of easily obtainable materials and equipment that may already be found in the home.

Their own practice focuses around exploring the idea of juxtaposition, and bringing objects, and subjects together in a way that wouldn’t typically be found together, whilst also exploring folkloric themes. They are constantly experimenting with new and unconventional materials to find ways to make art in a more sustainable and planet friendly way.
