Free Admission to the garden and workshop, 16 – 25-year-olds

Join Velo artists Snootie Studios and Laura Bracey-Curry for a free bead workshop, inspired by the work of Gerda Rubinstein, and her relationship with Pat & Fredrick Gibberd.

In the workshop you will craft unique bead pieces, phone charms, and friendship bracelets, using second-hand beads. Inspired by Rubinstein’s ‘Potentate’, you will explore how to translate her sculptural forms into wearable art.

This will take place in the enchanting Gibberd Garden. Marvel at the stunning landscapes, sculptures, and art while enjoying live music from Six on Sax.

The Velo Artists will be arriving in style on cargo bikes. You can discover your way to The Gibberd Garden by train, bus, car, cycling or foot by clicking here where you can also learn more about our partner and their events.
