Workshop for Reborn Art Ball 2020 Exhibition was Held

Before the exhibition of “Art Ball” which REBORN the used balls (such as balls for tennis, volleyball, football, basketball …) with the power of art, workshops for public were held to experience the process of remaking the used ball into arts.

The workshop was so popular that all places reached capacity immediately after the start of recruitment. On the day of workshop, a lot of family participated and their children were so concentrated in making their art-balls with smiling. “Workshop Mates” (volunteer students of Faculty of Art and Design, University of Tsukuba) supported participants to make their own art-ball.

With the gratitude to the used balls, the balls reborn as work of arts with ideas of participants. The balls breathed new lives will be exhibited at “Ball × Bowl Exhibition in Kasama”. The exhibition will be held at the Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum (Kasama city) from 17 Oct 2018 to 21 oct 2018.
