ALEX TUCKWOOD is a local Designer and Maker with a passion for finding out how things work by taking things apart and fixing items which are broken. Recently he completed building The Thamesmead Travelling Cinema and is Director of Plastic Please, a recycling project based in Thamesmead.
CHRIS TRIMMINGS ‘King of Things’ has been invited to join Thamesmead Texas with his ever-evolving shop, a spinoff from his regular car boot pitch at Birchmere Park, where he has traded since the 1980’s. Artist Liam Scully has been workshopping with Trimmings, a former Rag n Bone man to turn his hand to sculpture, making assemblages from an array of objects collected on his travels. Trimmings will be on hand to look at breathing new life into your broken bits and pieces odds and sods.
