Listen to Hazel Sustainable fibre & fabric artist 🧵🪡🌍 talking about Making as Change as part of the Resources for Rural Changemakers - follow her journey of how deconstructing a hoodie is the beginning of another lovely textile object!

Hazel has been a core part of Everyone Needs Pockets Textile Reuse Network here in Frome almost since the very start. And part of The Frome Wardrobe Collective too. For us, it’s been so lovely to work alongside such inspiring and dedicated makers.

“I feel as though just picking up something that somebody else considers rubbish or waste and being able to take that and turn it into something that is then can be loved for longer, can be used for longer, suddenly becomes something that has value because it can be used more …”

Head to the webpage via our Linktree 👆🏼for the full listen of Hazels short podcast as part of the Field Recordings section - it’s a few minutes of powerful story - Hazel’s journey as a rural changemaker through repair, reuse, textiles and clothing. 💚🪡🧵

People’s Emergency Briefing film screening in Frome last Thursday. 300 people came. Very moving to see such support in the community for climate action. And a full
Lots of new people wanting to get involved. As well as people we know through the Future Shed networks.
The event was so carefully and thoughtfully held by the community by Georgia from and Peter and Annabelle, who planned a post film discussion using resources created by
And thanks a million to who supported the event both with communications and by the resilience team at the council.
Working in the climate crisis requires such care and attention to how we are. And we ended with 3 words to sum up each small group discussion.

We’re in a ‘remarkable’ heatwave right now. This is not normal. Highest temperatures for May.
Yes, enjoy sunshine and warmth and it will pass…. But heatwaves are set to intensify and they are bad news - for food growing, plants, and older people, kids especially, for rivers, animals. They cause deaths in the uk.

Find a screening of the film near you and get to know about the climate crisis. Join with others. The more we movement build, lobby and understand the better. The time is now.

Plastic Bones has been part of the pop up on Cheap Street these past few days.

Thank you for installing the piece - a world being held up by hands with the text from the campaign by Frome Youth Climate Action Group projected on the wall. 🌌 The piece raises the stark reality of plastic consuming our planet.

Plastic Bones made by the group with .artist will soon be making its way to Heal Somerset where it will be on display through the summer. Plastic is part of the fossil fuel industry - an extractive addiction we have to reckon with.

Frome Youth Climate Action is led by and has been supported and developed by us

Biggest thanks to Chris for his brilliant work supporting this Future Shed residency as part of the Climate Action Fund 💚🌍

Here is giving us the results. Abi also made a phenomenal sock mend at the event herself which was much admired 🪡🧵💕

Our community mended 118.5 items in one day - incredible.
