Join us to contribute to Art and Energy's Mossy Carpet collaborative art work, which celebrates the actions we're taking for our planet.
Everyone is welcome to drop in and help us grow The Mossy Carpet. We'll be sewing on woolly pompoms and other textile pieces to the artwork. You can also make more pieces, including knitted and crocheted creations. No experience is necessary and we'll provide all the materials needed.
