The Folly Building Workshop was commissioned by Sluice for their 2024 expo VERNACULAR in Colchester, Essex. The folly was built in Space Studios with the collaboration of Jack Briggs-Miller and the Creative Practitioners group. The workshop included a walk around the architecture of Colchester and took inspiration from the buttresses supporting the historic St Botolph.s Priory as well as the Minories folly. The wood was donated by the Minories and the plasterwork was inspired by the local craft of pargetting as practiced by Anna Kettle, a local craftswoman. The Folly was built and presented for the expo in June with the help of Andrew Chamberlain, Mavis Chen, Katrine Skovsgaard and Martin Camberwell.
