$Workshop \/\/ Gweithdy: Flat Pack Forest with \/\/ gyda Abi Palmer$

The Flat-Packed Forest is a playful, collaborative workshop led by artist Abi Palmer.
About this Event

Who is this for: Participants of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. Young children must be accompanied by adults making with them.
Materials: You are invited to bring an object(s) from the outside world. If you have extra cardboard at home, please also bring that with you.
Participants are invited to build a miniature “forest” from found and everyday materials. Working individually or in small groups, simple objects will be transformed into sensory sculptures that suggest trees, pathways, habitats, and hidden corners. Through making and experimenting together, we’ll explore how textures, shapes, and arrangements can create the feeling of a forest indoors.
Once our individual pieces are built, we’ll share our creations and imagine ways to expand them using other sensory elements such as sound, lighting, or words. Together, the group will then decide how to connect the sculptures into a single, shared forest. Participants will also have time to photograph or film the forest they’ve created, documenting the work as it grows from individual pieces into a collective landscape. The collective sculpture will remain in the gallery as part of the exhibition until the close of the show, 11 July.
This workshop invites participants to think about how art can translate experiences of nature into multisensory environments, and how creative spaces can be designed to offer different kinds of experiences for different people. Through making, collaboration, discussion, and play, The Flat-Packed Forest explores accessibility, imagination, and the many ways we can share space together.
Abi is a disability-led practitioner and can adapt the workshop to meet a variety of access needs. Instructions will be provided on paper as well as verbally. These instructions can be provided in advance - (contact: [email protected]). This event has no BSL interpretation. Should you wish to discuss additional access needs, please contact [email protected].

I bwy mae hwn: Mae croeso i bawb, o bob oed a chefndir. Dylai plant ifanc gael cwmni oedolyn er mwyn creu’r gwaith.
Deunyddiau: Mae gwahoddiad i chi ddod â deunydd(iau) o’r byd tu fas. Os oes gyda chi gardfwrdd ychwanegol gartref, dewch â hwnnw hefyd.
Caiff cyfranogwyr eu croesawu i adeiladu “fforest” fechan mas o ddeunyddiau bob dydd a deunyddiau wedi’u canfod. Gan weithio’n unigol neu mewn grwpiau bach, bydd gwrthrychau syml yn cael eu trawsnewid yn gerfluniau synhwyrus a all fod yn goed, llwybrau, cynefinoedd a chorneli cudd. Drwy greu ac arbrofi ar y cyd, byddwn yn archwilio sut y gall gweadau, siapau a threfniannau greu teimlad o goedwig tu fewn.
Ar ôl adeiladu ein darnau unigol, byddwn yn rhannu ein creadigaethau ac yn dychmygu ffyrdd o’u ehangu drwy ddefnyddio elfennau synhwyrus eraill megis sain, goleuo neu eiriau. Gyda’i gilydd, bydd y grŵp yn penderfynu sut i gysylltu’r cerfluniau a’u troi’n un goedwig fawr, gymunedol. Bydd gan y sawl sy’n cymryd rhan gyfle hefyd i dynnu ffotograffau neu ffilmio’r fforest y maen nhw wedi ei chreu, gan ddogfennu’r gwaith wrth iddo dyfu, o ddarnau unigol i mewn i dirlun casglebol. Bydd y cerflun casglebol yn aros yn yr oriel fel rhan o’r arddangosfa tan i’r sioe gau ar 11 Gorffennaf.
Mae’r gweithdy’n gwahodd cyfranogwyr i feddwl ynglŷn â sut all celf gyfieithu profiadau’n ymwneud â natur yn amgylcheddau amlsynhwyrus, a sut y gall gofodau creadigol gael eu dylunio er mwyn cynnig gwahanol fathau o brofiadau i wahanol bobl. Drwy greu, cydweithio, trafod, a chwarae, bydd Adeiladu’r Fforest yn archwilio hygyrchedd, dychymyg, a’r amryfal ffyrdd y gallwn rannu gofod gyda’n gilydd.
Ymarferydd sy’n canoli anabledd yw Abi, ac fe fydd hi’n addasu’r gweithdy yn unol ag anghenion penodol y cyfranogwyr. Bydd cyfarwyddiadau’n cael eu darparu ar bapur ac ar lafar. Gellir darparu’r cyfarwyddiadau hyn o flaen llaw: [email protected]. Does dim dehongli BSL yn y digwyddiad hwn. Os hoffech chi drafod anghenion mynediad ychwanegol, cysylltwch â [email protected].
