Waterfall Arts has revised the schedule for the upcoming Conflux Deep Craft Symposium so that the morning keynote address by WOWHAUS founders Scott and Ene Constable and the afternoon hands on workshop will both take place on Saturday November 15th. The price for the two Saturday events including a catered lunch has been reduced to $50, with half price admission for students. All events will take place at Waterfall Arts Belfast, 256 High Street.

The Symposium starts off on Friday the 14th at 7 pm with a panel discussion led by the Constables. Panelists include Peter Korn, DIrector of the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Todd French of French Webb custom boatbuilders and Dudley Zopp, painter and installation artist. Admission to the panel discussion and the following reception with cash bar is $10.

In the Saturday keynote address, the artist team of Wowhaus will showcase their decade of environmentally-oriented art and design projects and demonstrate how ordinary people can innovate within their own lives and communities. Through their Deep Craft Initiative, Wowhaus will share how the tenets of traditional craft and self-sufficiency can play a major role in the creation of new economic opportunities towards a common understanding of how we can live well with less.

After lunch, the Wowhaus team will channel the morning synergy into the afternoon hands-on workshop, introducing new methods of collaboration, resource management and sensory engagement. The workshop promises to be fun, challenging, accessible to all ages and backgrounds and replicable. No experience required.
