Second Skin Objects 🪡
As part of the @londonfestivalofarchitecture
Transform everyday objects into sculptural forms in this hands-on workshop with our brilliant residency artist Jihoon Cho.
Bring a small object, a key, coin, screw, toy and use tissue paper, recycled scraps, and plant-based glue to build a delicate "second skin" around it. Through layering and wrapping, familiar things become something new.
Free to attend, all welcome.

We’re very pleased to introduce Jihoon Cho as our selected residency artist for the next 6 months.
Image show is: (Detail) 'Untitled' (in progress) 2025, Cardboard, 96 x 115 x 210cm
Jihoon’s practice centres on adaptation, exploring how artworks, materials, and people respond to change, instability, and constraint. Working across drawing, sculpture, and installation, Jihoon approaches art as a living condition rather than a fixed object, continually reshaped through space, time, and perception.
During the residency, Jihoon will develop a new project titled Bend, Don’t Break, responding directly to the architecture and atmosphere of the gallery at WIP. The work will evolve through interaction, forming a temporary ecology shaped by coexistence between artwork, site, and viewers.
We’re looking forward to welcoming Jihoon and sharing the process as the residency unfolds.
