Forthcoming Workshops

Visitors and community groups joined artists for The Bullpen Big Draw.
The Bullpen offered its local community the opportunity to take part in drawing activities each day throughout the halfterm holiday. Groups took part in drawing workshops at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford and then made huge collaborative drawings in sand, which were cast into iron by the artists at the Iron Pour. Watch this space - drawings and castings will be mounted for exhibition in The Bullpen Gallery...

IRON POUR 2011

Throughout the workshop, artists worked in the foundry to create moulds using resin-bonded sand, ceramic shell or clay/dung slurry. The Pour Day was an extraordinary event, to which the public were invited - the furnace was operated by the artist-pour crew, and the iron poured into the artists' moulds. Artists enjoyed a research trip to Pitt Rivers Museum, tuition from experienced artist iron-casters, and the opportunity to work closely as a team in the foundry and studios. Some of the sculpture, along with the moulds, will be displayed in the Museum from November until the end of January 2012.
