Bang, blow, saw, hammer, pluck, and pull your way to building a unique, playable instrument. Bring your imagination and a grown-up (they get in free). At this fun, hands-on workshop area you’ll craft your own musical instrument from upcycled materials! Transform broken, foraged and found objects, natural materials and even trash … into musical masterpieces. Will you choose to reimagine the classics and make a guitar, horn or drum? Or let your imagination run wild and build your very own, one-of-a-kind creation. Whatever you choose, you’ll get to take home your own Upsound instrument. Join Dutch sound artist and violinist Jacob Plooij for this Australian premiere that’s sure to strike a chord with the whole family!

Please note:

We welcome everyone of all skills and abilities to join us! If you have a special access requirement such as your child has a developmental condition or requires mobility equipment, please list your request in the ‘Access Requirements’ section of the booking page so we can make adjustments.
“We love to use materials that other people see as waste and turn them into something new! If you have an old toy or a broken instrument lying around, it might just be the perfect piece for an upcycled instrument.
Bring it along to the workshop area.”

 

Presented by Jacob Plooij
