This seven day workshop, with Mark Harrington (Master Thatcher) and Mollie McMillen (Natural Weaver), will explore the experimental use of reed in construction. The workshop is held in collaboration with Yasmeen Lari with a focus on working within, and drawing materials from, wetlands and flood prone areas. The structure will be on display at A House for Artists throughout June as part of the 2024 London Festival of Architecture.
The workshop forms part of Create London’s Breaking Waves programme, exploring the relationship between climate change and industrial heritage in Barking & Dagenham. Breaking Waves was commissioned by Create London and made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The architecture commission is supported by the British Council.
