Residency in August 2014 Derry, North Ireland. This multi-faceted project (residency/ master classes/ lecture series/ exhibition/ bursary award/ installation) was arranged by Seliena Coyle for CultureCraft (www.CultureCraft.co.uk). During this residency, three classes rotated through the various stages of learning about design, prototyping and production in metal. The students voted, and selected the best design, which was inspired by the Giant’s Causeway. This is a natural occuring geological treasure comprised of hexagonal basalt pillars and is one of N. Ireland’s most valued landmarks. These magical forms are captured in a cluster design by David Dryden, one of the participants. The final product, a permanent, sculptural piece made of local traffic signage, was installed on the Foyle River Greenway.
