Keith Newstead - RIP

We are very sad to announce that Keith Newstead passed away this weekend (Nov. 7/8) at the age of 64. Keith was a dear friend and exceptionally talented maker. He will be very sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. Photo credit: Steve Tanner

New Show

We are delighted to announce that we’ve opened a new exhibition - our first since Covid happened - in Gosport (UK - Hampshire, across the water from Portsmouth). See our blog post for more info and to book your time slot.

New Workshop

Announcing a family workshop which includes an introduction to the wonderful world of automata. We’ll talk together about tools and materials, explore some inspirational machines made by CMT artists and get started constructing our own projects making weird and spooky characters come to life.

During the day the zoom call will be open as a helpline where experienced tinkering facilitators will take a look at in-progress projects, offer new ideas and share tips and tricks. We reconvene in the afternoon to share our work and plan next steps for making and building with automata.

Family workshops are co-educational experiences (so adults, you get to do these activities too!). Best for ages 8 and up, tinkering with a parent or caregiver (in the same house or remotely).

Please see go here: cabaret.co.uk/ig/ for more as well as details of two other workshops we’re running.
