Art and Energy’s The Mossy Carpet will be on display at Theatre Royal Plymouth in November.

Thursday 9th November, 10.30am-2pm, we invite members of Plymouth Octopus Project (POP) and Plymouth Social Enterprise Network to a private viewing and event at Theatre Royal Plymouth.

We’re excited to hear about the small actions that organisations in Plymouth are taking for the environment. For small organisations this challenge to become greener can feel overwhelming, this is where the POP and PSEN networks are invaluable as we can share the info we need to make it do-able!

We've found that getting together over a creative activity helps this conversation - by sharing the small (and big!) steps we're taking both in the workplace and at home change becomes less daunting, plus we make space to pause and celebrate! We're particularly interested in hearing about the hints, tips, shortcuts & recommendations that make change possible.

Members will be able to view our exhibition and join in with creative activities creating moss inspired woolly pompoms to add to The Mossy Carpet.

This online event will celebrate the world of moss forests and the tiny creatures dwelling within. We’ll learn more about tardigrades (also known as moss piglets or water bears) with a short talk by Ellis Moloney (PhD student at University of Plymouth).

We’ll be celebrating mossy forest inspired creativity with large charcoal drawings of moss, sharing more of our electron microscope images of mosses and our latest creations of stuffed tardigrades!

We'll also celebrate the tiny actions we are taking for a brighter greener future with our Tardigrade telephone which encourages people to #tellthetardigrade and leave a message with your positive actions for the planet.

This is our September event for the Bury the Giant Club, taking place on Monday 18th September, 6.30-7.30pm via Zoom.

All welcome to join us, please invite your friends and colleagues, you don't need to be a Bury the Giant Club member to join us but we hope you might consider signing up in the future.  Sign up for free to our Bury the Giant Club and be part of a creative community working for a brighter greener future.
