Croxley Green's Big Eco Art Project

As part of The Great Big Green Week this year, I'll be working with 6 schools in Croxley Green to produce a walking parade of giant puppets made from recycled materials. The Puppets and 'living art show' have been created in consultation with eco council representatives from each school and their teachers, as a means to highlight the problems with plastic consumption and offer solutions to reduce plastic waste. The project is founded by Helen Cox: Deputy Head of Croxley Danes School and has 4 stages of development:

Stage 1: Public Screening of Plastic Warriors and consultation with the Eco Council for Earth Day 2024
Stage 2: Plastic Art Competition and exhibition for the Great Big Green Week from 8th to 16th June
Stage 3: Community drop-in puppet make for the giant puppet walkabout in Croxley Library, 15th June.
Stage 4: The Giant Puppet Walkabout (Date TBC)

Part Two

Competition now closed. Competition exhibition showing at Croxley Green Library for the

Something for everyone
