Plastic Mountain West Norwood Public Art
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
Raise awareness of the plastic issue through innovative art workshops with 250 primary school children, creating Plastic Mountain sculptures
Thanks to your contributions so far, we have managed to achieve Phase 1 of the project: the mural.
We have also secured funding from Arts Council England, Lambeth Council and Norwood Forum and we have started work on Phase 2 and 3 of the project.
In June 2022 we started working with local primary schools:
We are running plastic awareness art projects in primary schools with 250 children. We will be taking the children on litter picks, they will learn about why plastic is a problem. Then they will all get to help make a large Plastic Mountain sculpture out of earth and litter. This will then be installed outdoors in their school and they will watch as the earth slowly erodes away, leaving the plastic litter behind!
The Plastic Mountain Brooch:
This beautiful handmade brooch by the sculptor Briony Marshall is for sale in support of the Plastic Mountain project.
It is a signed limited edition of 20 and comes in a gift box.
The brooch is a representation of the Plastic Mountain earth sculpture planned for next year in West Norwood. You might also have noticed it's our logo!
It is handmade in Briony's studio in Pewter. This is a lovely metal for making small sculptures that Briony has been using for years. Pewter is an alloy of tin with antimony and copper. You can think of it as the reverse of bronze which is copper with added tin.
It costs £65. If you would like it, just donate £65 and email us with your postal address and we will send it out within a week.
