About this Event
Join the amazing Pianodrome team for a Free Piano Dissection Workshop at Besbrode Pianos.
The Pianodrome will dissect defunct pianos one-by-one into component parts to be later re-purposed into 12 magnificent piano planters bursting with flowers, grasses, vegetables and herbs grown by local community gardening groups. These planters will bring a sensory explosion of colours, smells and tastes to the streets of Leeds and Bradford city centres around The Leeds International Piano Competition 2024.
We are looking for volunteers who fancy getting involved. The workshop will be led by friendly and experienced piano sculptors from Pianodrome. With simple hand tools and your participation, a piano will be taken apart over the course of a couple of hours. All tools, materials and training will be provided. We will walk you through every stage of the dismantle / design / build process. No previous experience required.
If you have ever wondered what's inside a piano, if you want to upskill and upcycle, if you want to pull apart old pianos destined for landfill and transform them into beautiful new planters - come along!
This is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to meet up and get involved in an exciting urban project that will flourish later on in September!
Note: Sharp tools and heavy objects - children are most welcome but must bring a supervising adult. Practical clothing advised.
We have a limited number of spaces available for this event. If you would like to get involved, let us know you are coming in advance to reserve entrance. Allocation is on a first come, first served basis. Contact [email protected] to reserve your place.
