A vision of the future, coming to the grounds of @comptonverney from March to December 2017. Part school, part shelter, part folly.

Friends! We've made a publication about THE CLEARING called A REPORT FROM THE FUTURE. Now that we all find ourselves outside the world, we've scanned it and put it online, for you to read or download for free. More info: https://t.co/jw64cwhuZA

I try not to tweet political opinions, but as it’s my birthday allow me just one. The Tories do want to sell off the NHS. Not in one go, just bit by bit until it’s unrecognisable. You’ll turn up one day and there will be a priority waiting room. They’ve always been open about it.

TWO DAYS LEFT. Just a reminder that we’re looking for a new home for our dome. Deadline is Saturday. Some rust, some spiderwebs. GSOH. Strictly no clamping.
DO YOU WANT A DOME? The Clearing’s dome is coming down at the end of the year – and we want to pass it on to someone who needs it. Free. Must be put to public/social use. Strictly no glamping. Deadline 30/11/19. Info: https://t.co/4sc6lHKu28 PLZ RT.

Do you want a dome? The Clearing, which has stood on our lakeside for the last 3 years, will be coming down early next year & we're looking to give the dome away to someone who can make use of it. If you have need of a geodesic dome click 👉 https://t.co/xQXxM66Z22 for more info

The Clearing is now closed. The dome is shut. The chickens have gone back to the farm. We’ll be finishing the journal off in the new year. But, for now, all that’s left to say is Thank You and Good Luck.

TOMORROW it's our last workshop, HOW TO DIE IN THE FUTURE. @BrumYODO will be talking about the practicalities of dying, and we'll be considering the point of life on Earth. So no biggie. Please note: this workshop is sold out. https://t.co/cvj57koztH

FULL DISCLAIMER: we used the generator to power the projector. We thought the majesty of the stars was worth a bit of our petrol stock.

Last Saturday we learnt how to navigate by the stars, made new star maps with @JenniferCrouch, and then went and looked at the cosmos as it is/was a long time ago.

Last Saturday, @CMarieFrench brought her partner to our astronomy workshop as a birthday present. Here's the accompanying cake. Very strong (structurally and aesthetically).

Watching the Black Friday adverts and imagining the factories churning, the lorries revving, the plugs going in, the seas creeping ever upwards.

We can attest to this. When you're on your own, and off the grid, things do tend to go bump that little bit louder.
#jameshillman on the creatures that thrive on the night's black air... inanimate things come alive in the dark... yep.. that was @_the_clearing_ for me
