Make Your Own Stool/Basket (2020)

Commissioned for A Fair Land Pforzheim (Germany), a summer 2020 exhibition by the Faculty of Design at Pforzheim University. The project was based on Grizedale Arts 2016 'A Fair Land' at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, in which easy opportunities for visitors to take part in craft and making were foregrounded in an installation based on a utopian vision of communal living.
This simple stool, made from very few materials, was developed by Tom Philipson and Grizedale Arts across several years of workshops with students and the public, creating a useful item that can be made by anybody.
