Introducing my PLASTIC SEA fish stall at SAMS with Festival of the Sea in Oban. Fresh Daily Catch: selling books, postcards, sarongs, talks, creative workshops TO SAY NO TO PLASTIC SEA. Been 16 years since I started Allwashedup!/Plastic Sea/ LETSGOTOTHEBEACH to get your attention for plastic sea trash. I don’t have to tell the story today; you all know about plastics in our waters. Funny? Shocking.
Launching my SEASHOREART/PLAY paper! Did you know the UK has the 3rd longest coastline in Europe? Did you know most primary schools don’t have art teachers?
For every child in every primary school nationwide, for families at home, on holiday, for you.
Artwareness: Engage with play: Championing our seas: Recycle me! No:1 in a series
Almost sold all my Crowdfunded Letsgotothebeach sarongs to the sailors at The World Clipper Race in Oban. SWIM, the Rainbow Beach Clean Design sold out first. OCEAN, Blues, second. My favourite is SPLASH! beach clean design of plastic bottle tops collected along west coast Scotland.
Big FUN to see the sand trays and plastic sea trash busily, inventively used all day long by young families. Creative activity using SEASHOREART/PLAY paper as inspiration. The kids wouldn’t stop drawing in sand, feeling, printing shapes, making pictures! What do you see?
The dads said they couldn’t draw, ‘not creative’… I asked what they did, what they liked… the Engineer dad liked racing cars and F1…I gave him a couple of bits and said give it a go.. love the racing car! His sons loved seeing him play in the sand. The kids had no inhibitions. The babies loved wiggling their toes.
Sunny windy day for The Round the World Clipper Race. My sarongs kept flying away!
I’ve been collecting plastics here on the Scottish west coast for over 20 years; I always make with the thrown away.
Using locally washed up fishing boxes, connected with re-useable cable ties to wood posts=a portable fish stall for any event. Re-using old acrylic sheets to make a kit of display boxes; plastic collections, bottles, fishes! Just fits in the car.
