BUILD SCHOOL is a weekend of expert and artist-led workshops & talks in exploring local building and making practices for collective and shared spaces. YOUNGFOSSIL is an experimental building which began its life in 2021 as a series of seating sculpture onn the grounds of IMMA. It then found its permanent home in 2023 when it was assembled in the fields of SOWN in Ballyfad, Co. Wexford.
With the support of the Arts Council, we are in the process of completing the YOUNGFOSSIL building so that it can start to be used as an artist studio. We want to take this opportunity to celebrate the work that has been done so far and to invite people to come and learn about some of the precesses and techniques that will be used in this next phase of construction.
