Posted by Tara Peterson on Tue, Oct 12, 2010

robotHave a slice (or two) topped with ... nuts and bolts?  The evening shows bits and pieces drawn from the dumpster and made into creatures, tables, and more.  Sponsored by greenGoat, a green building charity.

Tonight at (6PM)
Address: 45 Day St Somerville, MA (Near Davis Square)
Cost: Free!!

The evening focuses on wood and metal through the eyes of

·          Jeff Smith , Fort Point sculptor (who also made the bar for the South End restaurant Beehive),

·          Skunk , Somerville-based sculptor who creates playful robots out of motor parts and runs the studio Skunkadelia, and founded the bicycling group Scul

·          Amy Bauman, greenGoat, runs a charity dedicated to building-related resource conservation

·          Roger Sherman, Environmental Restoration, using volcanic ash and the “Farrow System” for low-impact wood stripping.

 Flatbread took over the former Sacco’s Bowl Haven, using wood from a few of the bowling lanes to make tables and benches.  Flatbread believes in buying organic produce from local farmers and is offering the evening to greenGoat, a Somerville charity, as a fundraising event.  A portion of the evening’s pizza sales benefits greenGoat.
