Call for workshop participants
Anyone interested in attending the Home of Metal exhibitions and events in June-September 2019 is invited to participate in a workshop on the theme of home, metal and heritage. We will develop skills of evaluation, debate and presentation concerned with popular music heritage.
The workshop is free to attend with refreshments available. Free entry to the Home of Metal exhibition is provided as part of the workshop. Participants will be expected to contribute to the workshops output, potentially in the form of a fanzine, interview or podcast.
