Free. For 18-30s.  \nInviting participants to respond to Eva Rothschild’s sculpture series Soft Play and film Safe\ , 2026\, this porcelain handbuilding workshop will make use of intuitive a nd embodied sculpting methods to create playful\, abstract sculptures.  \ nWe often associate porcelain with fragility\, as well as a gendered and r acialised performance of femininity. But in its wet clay state\, it is sof t\, slippery\, and highly malleable. Drawing on Rothschild’s thinking ab out gendered modes of engaging with objects in public space\, we’ll shap e and stretch wet porcelain to create emotional artefacts of ‘gender per formance’ and bodily experience. We’ll think about queerness\, masculi nity\, and femininity\, finding potential for gender disobedience and play in experiencing the soft and slippery. \nAs tactility comes to the fore\, participants are encouraged to respond more to feeling than an attempt to create pre-existing forms\; the potential structural collapse of these ob jects can become interesting stories to tell\, too. At the end of the work shop\, we’ll stage a mini exhibition of our work\, plotting our objects in space together.  \nThis workshop especially welcomes queer and trans p articipants.  \nXuanlin Tham is a Singaporean writer\, curator\, and make r based in Edinburgh\, keenly interested in the (collective) body and desi re. Their book Revolutionary Desires: The Political Power of the Sex Scene explores the sex scene’s capacity to interrupt the violences of capital ism\, and is out with 404 Ink. They programme at Take One Action\, an arts organisation harnessing the transformative power of film and storytelling for social and environmental justice in Scotland and beyond. As an indepe ndent curator and facilitator\, they have worked with Glasgow Short Film F estival\, Queer East\, Rhubaba\, and the Edinburgh Art Festival. Xuanlin ’s writing on film and culture has been published in e–flux\, British GQ\, i-D\, Little White Lies\, and AnOther Magazine\, among others.  \nAc cess \n\nOur building has step-free access and is wheelchair accessi ble via a lift.\n\n\nAll of our toilets and gender neutral.\n\n\nDuring e vents and workshops\, we can facilitate a quiet space if required.\n\ n\nWe have sensory backpacks available.\n\n\nFurther access informatio n can be found at the link below:\n\nwww.fruitmarket.co.uk/accessibility/ \nIf you have any specific access requirements that you’d like to tell us about when you’re booking a Fresh Fruit workshop or event\, please let us know at info@fruitmarket.co.uk \nFresh Fruit is made possible wi th funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation and William Grant Foundatio n.
