A pop-up science and design-led alternative Christmas market.
Give inventive gifts with jewellery 3-D printed from biological patterns, or the coolest energy monitor on the planet. Deck the halls with informational screenprints and send your good wishes in recycled science stationary from super/collider’s curated corner. For the DIY-inclined, there will be workshop vouchers from Technology Will Save Us (offering such outings as lumiphone-making) and maker kits, while Luminous Books will be supplying a selection of vintage science and astronomy books for a more classical Christmas.
During our opening weekend (10 & 11 Dec) we will have the following events: Drop by between 12 and 4pm on Saturday the 10th to see our art-drawing robot create Christmas ornaments on the fly, or pick up one of our LED ornaments and have a customised message programmed while you wait.
Sunday 18th December: Join super/collider and botanically-inspired artist Sister Arrow to make your own lab glass-bottle terrarium to wrap up for someone special! (Pre-registration at www.super-collider.com is required. It’s £25 for the workshop including soil and plant if you bring your own glass bottle, or you can purchase an authentic lab-bottle from super/collider during the workshop – but don’t forget you need to pre-book by Friday 16th!)
x^12 will run daily from 09–20 December, 12-7pm.
