Aim: Rockcliffe First School are going to grow the world's first fungal sculpture trail.
With your help, the children of Rockcliffe First School are going to grow the world’s first fungal sculpture trail.
What?!
Through the climate hope organisation, Threads in the Ground, Rockcliffe will have access to ‘Grow it Yourself Kits’, using new technology to make biodegradable building materials from fungus.
Every child in the school will be involved in each step of creating a beautiful trail of sculptures. They will explore part of their climate future by playing and creating with a next generation material.
Imagine walking through Whitley Bay with your mini tour-guide, as they explain to you what fungus is, how they grew it, how it will biodegrade, and why that is important?
But we need your help to make all this happen.
A small group of Rockcliffe parents have been crafting mushroom-based rewards and experiences. They make for perfect Christmas Presents that you will find nowhere else.
Your support will make sure the children of Rockcliffe First School can make Mushroom Sculpt happen. Thank you!
Mushroom Sculpt is a project developed by Threads in the Ground - a new climate hope organisation founded by Adam Cooper during his Creative Associate residency at New Writing North.
