Environment, Schools

Thanks to your contributions so far, we have managed to achieve Phase 1 of the project: the mural. However, we still need to reach our target to be able to run exciting plastic awareness art projects in local primary schools

Help us reach our target to be able to run 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 the top 'featured' reward)

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 its 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 will be sent out on Tuesday once the crowdfunder closes and will arrive before Christmas.

EARLY BIRD Metal Sculpture of Plastic Mountain

Pledge £115 and receive a small pewter sculpture of the proposed Plastic Mountain public artwork. This is an abstract geometric form with the play of layers on its surfaces. The sculpture will be made of a metal called pewter, an alloy of tin with antimony and traces of copper. Pewter is like the reverse of bronze which is mostly copper with some tin. I use a lead-free pewter which is non-toxic so you can safely enjoy handling your sculpture.
