Kindred Studios x Sheperd’s Bush Market

We were thrilled to be invited to facilitate Eco Autumn Accessories during the market’s community consultation. Much of what goes into CB’s art is sourced directly form the market and these workshops gave participants ideas and skills around reuse and creative circular economies. We look forward to collaborating with the market as it continues to grow.

Tiny Ocean Plants - Art x Science Workshop

After participating in the Sail Britain program, from Oban to Ardrossan, marine biologist Britt Alexander and myself had better ideas of how we could work together to communicate ocean issues. As part of ‘The Fragile Ocean’ exhibition we held a day of workshops exploring phytoplankton, or Tiny Ocean Plants.

Participants added to a communal drawing of phytoplankton. By leading engaging, mindful activities we drew attention to phytoplankton’s crucial role in mitigating climate change because it stores a huge amount of carbon.

We taught participants how to make natural house hold cleaners, this ensures that damaging chemicals found in some cleaning and cosmetic products don’t make it into the water ways end eventually the ocean.

The workshop concluded with participants having the opportunity to have their photo taken with giant tiny ocean plants!
