The Festival of Stuff finale was back last Saturday 25th June and was bursting with delectable making madness. Once again the streets outside the Institute of Making were full of demonstrations and making stations.

Botanical bodging was a hands-on workshop using everyday objects to create and assemble anthropomorphic junk flowers, using upcycled objects collected from rubbish tips and car boot sales. We invited participants to choose objects that resembled the stem, leaf, and petal and attach them together by drilling, screwing, and gluing to create weird and wonderful junk flowers.
