Dismantling e-waste workshop with Katie Surridge

DARE Art Prize winner and artist Katie Surridge hosts a series of drop-in workshops for dismantling your e-waste.

Using e-waste collected from amnesty boxes and your own items, join Surridge at sculptural workstations to collect copper wire, steel, aluminium and other metals that are trapped in discarded electronic devices.

Surridge will then use the metals and parts extracted together in processes such as recasting, electroplating and even bioleaching (a process that uses microbes to extract metals from e-waste) to produce new sculptures.

In addition, 100 free makers packs will be available to take home. Katie designed the packs in collaboration with the University of Leeds; they contain pieces of her sculpture which require your help electroplating.
