The workshop is part of ‘Experiments in Household Knowledge’ - a series of collaborations with East London ecological and environmental innovators. The project will explore and showcase unusual and inventive ways of making and experimenting. From new gardening techniques to alternative forms of energy production or innovative recycling methods, we’ll be sharing a range of unique and often self-taught skills through walks, talks and hands-on workshops.
'Experiments in Household Knowledge’ is a public works project commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation anticipating the opening of Timberlodge - a new community facility housing the Unity Kitchen Cafe in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the summer of 2013. The project is also supported by R-urban, a two year long project establishing practices and networks of urban resilience.
