We're excited to support @MassiveAttackUK's ground breaking ACT 1.5 event. We'll be providing 15 second-life battery units to be used in in place of diesel generators to power lighting & catering facilities at what is set to be the lowest carbon show of its size ever staged.

[Rachel Smith @RacheLocal]

Really excited to get going with this work with brilliant @JodesPlatform31 & @SamPlatform31 from @Platform_Thrty1. Did you know that a group of zebras is called a dazzle? 🦓🦓What if could all be part of a neighbourhood dazzle? Outwitting our foes by dazzling them together ✨✨✨

This week we've celebrated our 8th birthday! In true P31 style we tried our hand at glass cutting and fusion, had some food, then onto Indian block printing.

@HubbubTheatre Thank you!

What an amazing end to our week. It's so comforting to know the scale and severity of domestic abuse is getting seen clearly and heard so loudly. So many people truly care and want to help.

It's an issue that is so tricky to show for safety reasons, but we managed it. ✨ ✨ ✨

Can you believe it get to do this as my job?! Me neither 🥰 Such fun last night playing with prints and sculptures. The grins from colleagues were ear to ear! Creative joy everywhere 🥳

[Platform Thirty1 @Platform_Thrty1]

What a fab twilight with nursery, primary, SEN & home ed colleagues at our Black Shale #LCEP Printmaking & Sculpture CPD.

Tonight we experimented with different techniques, got lost in wire twisting and gained some aptly mucky fingers from pulling prints. Such fun!

EV etiquette... Do not leave your car charging past 90% when others are waiting for a little bit of juice. 30KW drops to 5 and it takes an AGE. All of our circles overlap... Be thoughtful please EV drivers 🙏🏼 🚗
