THANK YOU everyone for attending.

Minutes from our meeting this morning attached.

Action points for everyone before next meeting are:
1. contact local carpet shops/suppliers/fitters and fabric shops for cardboard tubes
2. collect recycled items and possible materials to test during next meeting
3. start plastic bottle collections in colleges
4. DOCUMENT materials collection process
5. write conceptual statement for circulation to rest of Digital Maker Collective.

We wrote an overarching statement for the whole 'Are humans sustainable?' group. Ours is summarised as:
'Growing space' is a space for growing and is sourced locally from waste.

We will still need our statements for our group specifically which can use 'growing space' as a module within various sentences.

NEXT MEETING: Wednesday 14th February @ 10am

Thank you for the notes of the meeting ! Hanna and I went to the Tate Modern this afternoon and I took some pictures of the space... I can edit them so we can start drawing our ideas of how the structure would look like ?

Yes good idea. I’ve put some bottle collections up in Chelsea. I’ll
Make some more and start contacting carpet fitters for tubing. I’m going to try some newspaper tests too.

Ok great, thanks Zoe. We have quite a lot of tubes to get started with - I delivered them to the Chelsea Makerspace on Saturday. So if we need more we can go to Braggins.

Those are the cardboard tubes we took from our studio and that hanna got from the print services (maybe all UAL print services have some to give us ?)
