Murdoch Day: Community Automata Workshops

Over four incredible days, Cornish Contraptions transformed Redruth into a hub of creativity, curiosity, and invention. With around 1,000 visitors, the exhibition brought new audiences to the town and showcased the innovative work of makers from our own Invention Club and around the area.

Workshop 2 was a full day of tinkering at The Art Room and some really clever (and weird!) interactive objects were created.

The first idea-generating workshop took place at Bill’s Attic – a really great space packed with all kinds of different items to look at and be inspired by.

We were invited to Camborne Library to hold a mini-automata workshop for Trevithick Day. This was a fun way to experiment with basic mechanisms and use tools for the first time.

We are really grateful to Redruth Charity Trust for awarding Fluxus Cornwall CIC a donation to enable us to purchase electronics equipment to expand our workshops for younger people.

You are invited to a mini-automata workshop and a sneak peek at some of the amusements people have made at our invention sessions. This is a fun way to celebrate Murdoch Day with a blend of creativity and engineering!
