From Dundee Design Festival 2017 :
This year's Dundee Design Festival runs
from 24th to 29th May. The theme for
this year’s festival is Factory Floor through which we celebrate and explore
makers, machines, and the future of manufacturing.
We’ve drawn inspiration from
Dundee’s illustrious yet complex industrial heritage and the extraordinary
festival venue itself to describe what making means now. Across three enormous
galleries, we present a programme of design-inspired exhibitions, talks, film
screenings, live performances and family events.
You can expect to experience an
assembly line of creative activity at West Ward Works. Try out new techniques
at one of our many drop-in and ticketed workshops, including plaster casting,
ceramic mould making, and carving jewellery. This year’s festival is all about making,
so we invite you to don a smock, roll up your sleeves and try something new.
