Events

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected people in different ways. As well as suffering, sorrow, fear, loneliness, hard work for many, it’s also been a time to reflect on how we relate to our environment and how we could do things differently in future in our local area.

Sustainable Merton is working in partnership with Loving Earth Project to explore these questions.

This Zoom event will get you started on making a textile panel in any style. You’ll be invited to do a little preparation from home in advance of the event if you wish and will be welcome to join our online chats for panel-makers as your panel progresses, if you like.
Led by Sue Tyldesley and Lottie Percival

Free . Advance booking essential

If you’d like to make a panel, have got started or need more help with design or techniques, come and share your questions and ideas and meet other panel-makers. It would also be lovely to hear reflections from those who have finished your panels, and discuss possible or actual actions to help us live more sustainably in future.

You çan get started on your panel on your own, using resources on the Loving Earth Project website or with others at a “getting started” workshop  or a Loving Earth Project course – displayed elsewhere on this calendar.
