VISUAL is pleased to present Summer School 2024, featuring workshops from Superposition, Mollie Anna King, Materials Matter, Forest Schools, and Mayumi Nakabayashi. Topics covered include experimental cladding for structures, furniture-making, cyanotype-making, papermaking and foraging and creating mandalas from natural materials.

The three days of workshops will all centre around Superposition's An Experimental House, a modular structure that investigates different historic, contemporary, and experimental building materials and methods, as a potential solution to building and housing challenges.

Full details on each day of activities, and tickets for each day, can be booked at the links below. Please note places are limited, so early booking is advised.
