Weekly march to parliament

October 8th, 2009

40 percent by 2020Hi everyone, join us in the weekly march to parliament. The march has the motto “I’m willing to change so the climate doesn’t have to.”

We advocate and increase awareness for a sensible CO2 reduction target of 40% by 2020 over 1990 levels. This target, recommended by signon.org.nz, is based on research (IPCC) indicating that these reduction levels have to be achieved in order to prevent the global warming of more than 2 degrees.

Meet at the Embassy Theatre every Thursday, at 5.30 pm, and walk to parliament to have a cup of tea on the lawn. Bring thermos of tea & friends! Any questions, contact Lisa (lisa_mauth@yahoo.de) or Thomas (thomas@worldsweetworld.com).

Kia ora!

Just in case you haven’t heard, issue #7 of World Sweet World Magazine is out in shops. It came out earlier this month, just before we left for our well deserved holiday (see Hamburg is crafty below). Another absolutely beautiful cover by gifted Greta Menzies (the gal behind Hotchpotch and Gruelboy):

Making Tracks - WSW Issue 7

As a side note, we were interviewed by Nikki Whyte for the latest peppermint magazine (issue 03) – peppermint is a great Australian eco fashion magazine; have a look! We also heard that we got mentioned in the Listener, please, someone, reserve a copy for us til we’re back ;).

We’re in Seattle at the moment and will soon post about cool shops in the Northwest. Til then,

ciao

Hamburg is crafty

September 17th, 2009

Hello from Hamburg, everyone!

We know for sure now that Hamburg is a crafty place. We discovered “Lockengeloet” today, a shop that showcases and partly creates recycled and reappropriated products.

Lockengeloet is also screening Handmade Nation tonight – an inspiring movie about makers, doers and artists in the US.

If you find yourself in Hamburg, you have to go to “Herr Max“, the yummiest cake shop around. We tried out 6 different cakes, and all where very morish. The ambience is authentically alternative independent.

Nanageddon: The End of Craft as We Know It

August 22nd, 2009

nanageddon

this sounds awesome…

ROAR! Gallery invites you to Nanageddon, a new group Exhibition featuring the work of: Outdoor Knit, Di McMillan, Caroline McQuarrie, Athina Moisa, Ann Moore, Rowan Panther, Matthew Squire, Margaret Tolland, Shar Young, and KIRAN-X.

August 20th – September 12th 2009.

Nanageddon showcases artists who are hailing the revival of stitching and knitting, subverting the idea of “Nana-craft” and reclaiming the art of craft in truly revealing ways. In this exhibition, what might sound like the work of a harmless old lady, turns out to be the act of some edgy, post-modern and radical thinker.
