The Bankstown Arts Centre

In this workshop, Edible States exhibiting artist Andrew Rewald will demonstrate through step-by-step instructions how to create a self-irrigating planter out of food-grade plastic buckets and other materials easily sourced from around the home or general hardware store. Anchored from his artwork Case of Emergency (2026), the workshop draws inspiration from ancient water-saving technologies with drought-resistant wild edible weeds thriving in urban environs, offering a playful contingency plan to rethink our environmental footprint. All planter materials will be provided. However, participants are also welcome to bring their own seeds/seedlings to plant at the end of the workshop, as well as a large bag to carry the 5L planter with them as they leave. Participants will also receive an instruction sheet, allowing them to recreate the workshop at home. Come by yourself or as a pair!Up to two participants can work together on one planter. Please purchase '1 Planter for 2 Participants' for this option.If you'd like to take home two different planters, you will need to purchase two separate tickets.$10 + Booking fee per planterAll ages welcome
