YOU'RE MAKING a...Dragon's egg | |
|---|---|
| Breathe some fire into your inner geek and build a dragon's egg. It could be smooth or have scales, and could even light up if you want but have some fun with it. Does it even need to be egg shaped? Further ideas & starting points Where to begin? Start with the shape and you can either be traditional and opt for an actual egg/oval shape or you could try a cube or pyramid for something quite different. Next, look at the scale. Are you making something to be held in your hand or will you be able to walk into it? Other than ornamental your egg could have a functional aspect, maybe as a chair or as some storage, or you could try to mix the idea of Russian dolls into you project and have a series of eggs that fit inside each other! |
OUT OF...Concrete | |
|---|---|
| Plain, GFRC, or reinforced with rebar, it's your call. Larger projects can use wood or maybe hollow sections to reduce excessive use of concrete. Setup can use other materials for moulding etc. |
USING...Sticky Icky | |
|---|---|
| Time to get your glue on. There's a joke about particle physics here, but it's elementary. You can only stick your finished piece together with glue. Bending stuff is cool though. |

Further info
Most of these project ideas and options have been selected to be as accessible as possible to a wide range of people. They should be considered as starting points for your own ideas and plans to be developed from and are intentionally ‘open’ so that different makers will create different designs whilst overcoming the challenges of the material and tool restrictions that have been chosen for them.
Depending on the limitations of someone’s workshop the generated project might not always be suitable, so if that happens you can just generate another.
The above doesn’t limit you from sanding, adding polish or finishes, and above all else, make sure that however you’re working on a project that you do so safely and with supervision or help where necessary.
Top thing to remember, have fun with this. Be inventive, share the challenges you faced and also let everyone see what you created.
