Art and Energy and The Mossy Carpet will be joining The Pioneers Project at their weekly Cafe Connect community café in Barne Barton, Plymouth. Wednesday 1st May, 10 - 11.30am.

We’ll be dropping in to this friendly group for a chat and a cuppa and to offer a spot of sewing to anyone who fancies helping us add handmade woolly pompoms to our artwork The Mossy Carpet. No sewing experience is needed and we’ll provide all the materials you need.

If you’ve been busy making pompoms and other textile pieces for The Mossy Carpet then you can drop them off whilst we are at this event and we’d also love any donations of spare wool or yarn - thank you.

More about the Cafe Connect Community Cafe:

In partnership with Barnardo’s, we deliver a community café called Café Connect supported by Starbucks, M&S, Tesco and Lidl. The café, open every Wednesday morning from 10am to 11.30am at The Barn Children’s Centre in Barne Barton, is open to everyone in the community. It is a donation-based, pay what you feel café.

Our collaboration with Starbucks UK through Neighbourly, means we are serving quality coffee, tea and hot chocolate, all available for a donation.

We also take advantage of food waste schemes with M&S, Tesco and Lidl and have a table of surplus food available for anyone attending to take home. This helps the supermarkets reduce their food waste and gives attendees access to fresh fruit, vegetables and bakery products, helping to upcycle.
