As part of an initiative to gather metals and materiel for future stages of this project, Artist in Residence, Loren will be running an 'E-Waste Buy-Back' gathering on Friday 27 September. Promising “Pizza for Parts”, you are invited to donate your out-of-date electronics to the artist in exchange for a fresh pizza. The artist will be mining precious metals from these electronics as part of an experimental smelting process.

Please come with electronics that are no smaller than a finger, no larger than a body: this can include power cords, phones, television screens, computers, monitors, remote controls, speakers, instrument cables, and other electronics that are safe to handle. Loren will keep these items, so please make sure you are ready to let them go for good.

This workshop is free and open to all aged 16+. Bookings are essential and are available for individuals or pairs arriving in ten-minute intervals. This is a BYO event.

This experience takes approximately 10 minutes per individual/pair, with the invitation to stay, eat, and socialise afterwards. Please arrive on-time for your scheduled time slot. Note this event takes place outdoors, so kindly dress appropriately for you. This event involves reading, listening and conversation, as well as standing, walking, and climbing stairs. If you have any access or mobility concerns, please get in touch and we can work with you to find the right way to participate.
