    Last week I interviewed new Winsor & Newton education artist Angela Coppola, located in Phoenix, Arizona.  This is a great chance to get to know Angela and her thoughts on being an artist and well as studio rituals and more.

    MINEHEAD’S FIRE WARDEN TRAINING

    Once every 3 years we hire an external company to offer our team ‘hands-on’ fire warden training. Discharging an extinguisher is not as easy as most people think. Surprisingly, it is more than; pull pin, aim and fire. Used in the wrong way it can make a situation worse.

    You need to assess the fire, plan your course of action, know which extinguisher to use, how to use it and understand what the extinguisher is capable of extinguishing. In most cases you would not even attempt to tackle the fire but if you need to, it is great to have an idea of what to expect.

    This training allowed our team to extinguish fires using Water, Foam and CO2 which are the extinguishers we have available on site. This type of training offers great confidence to our team, helps them understand the capability of each extinguisher and in a safe environment.

      Looks like it could have been a nice bbq!
      But very important training and knowledge, of which I hope you will never need to put it to practice, but well done for getting informed and trained. It could save lives. …

    A few of us (Sean and Garry pictured)  used a charity hour earlier this week to litter pick, collecting a combined  14.5 kgs of mainly plastic from the site and local vicinity.  Some of the plastic was already breaking down to become part of  the soil biome, readily available for plants and insects to ingest it.   We’ll be carrying out further picks using charity hours  to help maintain a cleaner environment for the local residents and wildlife.

      Well done! It is so disheartening sometimes to see people littering all over the place, but I believe that having a clean environment motivates all to maintain a clean environment.
      Sadly, a news article in the Dutch news today mentioning that even though there are more recycling schemes for plastic waste than ever, we still incinerate a record amount of plastic year on year (as it is easier, cheaper or some plastics just can’t be reused). But at least it won’t end up in nature with you guys on duty. keep it up!…

    This week I sat down with new Winsor & Newton education artist Reuben Negron to discuss his advice for a successful studio practice and much more.  While we intended it to be just a few moments, Reuben was so easy to talk to that this one went a bit longer.  I hope you enjoy hearing from Reuben as much as I enjoyed speaking with him.

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
