Tin Town Family Activity

Upper Campfield Market

Whilst working with The Ultimate Holding Company on their Tin Town exhibition, I was invited to devise a family friendly drop in activity to accompany the work. Taking inspiration from methods used in the making of pieces displayed, visitors were invited to engrave designs into foil pie dishes, allowing for the delicate nature of the material to be experienced first hand. Completed tins were then collated and displayed in the laundry room at Dunham Massey during the Easter break.
