We had a lovely day yesterday ,creating a monstrous bird, mutated after consuming plastic over a multitude of years.

How wonderful to see people having fun and stripping off the layers of perfection inhibiting them to truly be free to create.

Today’s workshop include helping to create a tree out of copper wire and exhaust pipes. The structure has already been created by Fiona and Pete, and we will be adding branches, leaves, insects and all things wild and wonderful to the structure. The materials we are exploring today are softdrink cans and plastic bottle lids.

Both Pete and Fiona have been working with waste materials for years and have a lot of workshop experience between them. They both work at schools in the South West as eco-educators, really communicating sustainability messages in their work while expressing themselves creatively.

Sessions start at 11 am and 1:15 pm. Hope to see you there!
