Community Workshop Lights Up Lawson


Help create a community light sculpture made with ‘bling’ & light up Lawson Festival.

Free light sculpture workshops are on in Lawson on Saturday 17th September and Saturday 15th October between 2pm and 5pm.

During the September workshop you will discover how to design and build a light sculpture from pre-loved recycled parts. Lawson ‘scrapture’ artist, Kathy O’Hara, will help you create some magic with boundless ideas and energy. David Ryan from Shiney Pictures will help you to add that special neon & LED ‘bling’.

But that’s only half the story… you will power the sculptures using pedal power!
Choose to ride your own bike to our energy playspace ... strap in, turn on and ride flat out... 
Why not ride ‘Genie’, a specially converted electro tryke or fire-up 'Jym' an 'ex' exercise bike.
Watch your own human energy pedal power the lights and battery banks. 
 
All the ‘Solas’ light sculptures will be powered by renewable energy. They will be exhibited at Lawson Festival on 19th November 2011 and at other local events.

People aged 8-88 welcome.
