The Mossy Carpet sew-on sessions at Exeter Phoenix
In the run up to Exeter’s Green Phoenix Festival on 30th June, Art and Energy will be holding some Mossy Carpet Sew-on sessions for people who would like to drop in and help us attach pompoms that have been sent in by groups to the carpet.
Join us at Exeter Phoenix getting creative and celebrating all the ways people taking steps towards a brighter greener future! We’ll be there every Friday morning from 12th April to 21st June, 10am - 12.30pm and you’ll find us in the Auditorium.
Groups all over Devon and beyond have been making pompoms and textiles tufts and sending them in to add to this magnificent artwork and we need your help to attach them!
Come along to one of our lovely relaxed sew-on sessions to find out more, share what’s going on, and get creative in The Phoenix Café this spring.
The Mossy Carpet is a mass-participation artwork designed by the award winning Art and Energy Collective and made by all of us to celebrate all the tiny (and bigger) things that people are doing in response to the climate and ecological emergencies
Despite being tiny, mosses make a huge difference for the health of our planet, cleaning air, preventing flooding and creating wild places for all of life to thrive. Mossy landscapes in Britain are incredibly important for bury carbon and store more carbon that rainforests. Find out more about magnificent mosses here!
You can celebrate all the small things you and the people you know are doing to make the world a better place by adding to the carpet and recording your message as we make this mega inspiring artwork for COP the United Nations Conference on Climate Change.
During the festival on June 30th we will invite people to take a walk on the carpet and find out about all the wonderful things that are happening in our region.
If you’re unable to make it to one of these sew-on sessions, please feel free to use our free online resources and make pompoms with your group and drop them off at Exeter Phoenix reception.
All the details of the Exeter Phoenix sew-on sessions can be found on our events page.
