Announcing new workshop dates! Make a solar powered night light
Sometimes navigating climate change can feel like we’re all in the dark. So we’re planning to bring people together for a series of relaxing creative sessions were you will make your own solar powered night light, inspired by energy in your home and your hopes for the future. The session will be full of laughing, crafting and top-quality energy advice!
Come along to this workshop led by artists from The Art and Energy Collective where we will be joined by a local energy advisor from the award winning Exeter Community Energy to think about energy use in your home and find out more about what you could do to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills while also keeping warm.
As well as thinking about what home means to us, we will consider each room in a house and discuss the huge range of energy issues that affect all of us across the seasons, from the cold, damp and dark, to keeping cool, washing, cooking and cleaning. We’ll hear about the energy challenges all across Devon and will begin to consider what energy efficiency is and how it can help reduce fuel poverty. We will share practical ways to reduce bills and cover some key advice people could take home.
Workshops will take place at our new studio arts space on Sidwell Street, Exeter.
We will provide tea and coffee making facilities and there will be cake and biscuits.
The session is for 10 year olds and over and is suitable for beginners.
These workshops are offered free of charge to local community groups - supported by Devon Communities Together. We are looking to offer these workshops to support individuals in need for example domestic violence survivors, single parent families, individuals living in fuel poverty, those in rented accommodation and struggling with the cost of living crisis, multicultural groups supporting refugees, families regularly supported by food bank provisions.
All are welcome to come and join us - contact us for more details hello@artandenergy.org or book here.
