As part of the Barnwell Verge Seeds of Hope biodiv

As part of the Barnwell Verge Seeds of Hope biodiversity garden project funded by @abbeypeoplecam these stunning fused tiles were made in workshops by year 6 pupils to celebrate the flora and fauna of our local chalk stream which runs alongside the garden. It's really exciting to see these tiles now installed into beautifully made wooden uprights by the amazing @kevinnutleyconceptstainedglass who has done a fantastic job. Thanks so much for the amazing work and it will be great to see these installed in the garden.

The Bioversity garden being created by @abbeypeopl

The Bioversity garden being created by @abbeypeoplecam @teasels_bio_designs @hurdygurdystained with the local community is really taking shape for the Barnwell Verge Seeds of Hope Project. Paths and fences are appearing and rotting logs installed feed the trees and local wildlife!
If you fancy volunteering to help with the next stage of planting go to @abbeypeoplecam , click on the bio and then on events to book a slot. It will be an opportunity to learn about how to encourage biodiversity!
Beautiful fused glass artworks created in school and community workshops led by @hurdygurdystained have been installed into Bee posts and noticeboard posts. and it will be really exciting to see these in place. The hexagonal tiles in the bee posts show special plant insect relationships which the garden is encouraging and the square tiles show the flora and fauna of our local rare and threatened chalk streams one of them being Coldhams Brook, running along Barnwell Road.
A pastel drawing of the beautiful under threat avenue of trees created by @hurdygurdystained at the start of the project and which the garden aims to protect is currently on display in "Trees in the City" Exhibition at @thrivecambridge with other artists from @unit13_artist_studios_cas till 1 May. Please come along to celebrate with us and to hear stories and struggles of our urban trees.

A happy client sent this photo of their installed font door panels now that the front door has been decorated. To do this installation, the central wooden panelling was removed from the door to create window recesses creating a lovely light hallway

Entry to @bsmgp "Inspired by William Morris Exhibi

Entry to @bsmgp "Inspired by William Morris Exhibition" it's been a fascinating journey learning about what was behind william morris designs, which have become a part of the furniture 🤣🤣. He treated his employees well, used sustainable processes and materials, fought to keep our natural heritage... such an inspiration and so relevant to today!

"“When our green fields and clear waters... are turned... to dirt... let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die – choked by filth"
said by Morris whose joyful designs and mythological characters expressed his opposition against the exploitation and pollution of industrialisation. Today XR's "Red Rebels," representing our common life-blood, look so similar and make the same urgent protest. " @unit13_artist_studios_cas
