___ In the workshop Stuff with Attitude 1.1 lead by designer  Jólan van der Wiel participants will experiment with lo-tech materials & forces of nature which generates new design. An experimental approach dictated by the forces of nature used in the design and production process paves the way for fresh insights. After an open discussion and brainstorm, the boundaries of design options will be explored with forces like magnetism, acceleration, wind or sunheat. Workshop leader and designer Jólan van der Wiel works with joined cooperative forces of combining technology with natural phenomenas. He consequently tries to manage these forces in order to create refreshing design. He recently developed the Gravity machine and Acceleration machine with important starting point of new means of inspiration with surprising results. Workshop leader: Jólan van der Wiel Dates 2013: Sat. 7 or 14 Sep. 2015, more to come Time: 10.00h - 15.00h. Price: € 55 (incl lunch) For enrolment and queries contact academy@transnatural.org
