Poet Chris Kinsey and education officer Helen Kozich accompanied school groups visiting the workshop zone and robot-inhabited gallery space that was Oriel Factory. Pupils learned about artist Paul Granjon’s ideas and working processes, interacted enthusiastically with his experimental robots and had a go at generating electricity on a bicycle power station. They used drawing and creative writing to develop robot designs, inspired by the discarded and up-cycled electronic waste and ideas about recycling and energy use they encountered during the visit. Participants later developed their own sculptures back at school as part of Oriel Davies' Start outreach workshops programme.
