Upcycling workshop: Transforming waste to electric bell (Online Workshop)

“Upcycling workshop: Transforming waste to electric bell” will be held by designer, Kevin Cheung, who will lead the participants to transform upcycled materials to an electric bell. The electric bell was first invented by British physicists in the mid 1800s following the invention of electromagnets. When current was passed through the wire, it creates an electromagnetic force which made the bell arm swing sideway and hit the bell, which then broke the current arm fell back. This action repeats, which causes vibration of the arm. All upcycled materials used at this workshop are collected from Hong Kong, in which the bell is made of inner pot of rice cooker and the wooden board came from wine boxes.
