Make your own wild-fermented champagne, and create unusual, exciting, and innovative edible sculptures in this workshop with food artist Barney Pau. 

Barney will talk you through his artistic practice before taking you on a tour of the gallery to explore how the forms, representations, and concepts of the works on display inspire his practice. Next, you'll sit down to carve shape and mould a diverse array of fruits into abstract forms, thinking about how flavour, form, and texture can help you develop your abstract artwork. Once assembled, you'll submerge your work into a wild champagne ferment ready to drink the following week. You'll end with a tasting session of pre-made, foraged, and fermented wild champagnes Barney has brewed.
