Lucy Fergus is causing quite a stir in the world of contemporary design with her breathtakingly beautiful products and large-scale installations made from re-used rubber silicone. Dedicated to raising awareness of the implications of industrial waste, Lucy is one of a select band of vibrant new talents emerging from the Textile Futures graduate programme at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design.
This workshop is a tactile, enjoyable and therapeutic experience! You will select and manipulate the colourful rubbery off-cuts using an ingenious range of cutting, folding, knotting and fixing techniques to make a variety of bracelets, necklaces, key rings or other objects of your own devising.
Underlying her playful approach is a commitment to encouraging creative thinking and a materials-led design approach in order to re-imagine and re-purpose industrial residue.
Lucy has run Re-silicone creative workshops for The Science Museum, The City of London Festival and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
