Pirate Technics in Guatemala!!!???

Whilst passing Lake Atitlan some of the Pirates took the time to build a sculpture at Cosmic Convergence Festival of an oroborus - a symbol of infinity with a snake eating its own tail. Happy new year all!

Pirate Technics / Shipshape Arts 2013 End of Year Party!

To say a big thank you to all the Pirate crew and celebrate our busiest year to date, we held a party in the local pub, Bar Deux in Nottingham on Saturday 19th October.

There was a great turnout, an award ceremony, snacks and even a little burn!

Here's a video of the burn, with thanks to Barney...

2013 T-Shirts Have Arrived!

The 2013 Pirate Crew T-Shirts have arrived, featuring all our projects of the year! Try and guess what each letter is...

Please collect at the Pirate Party this weekend.

Olympic Park Move

The first of our two topiary installations, the Neighbours, have been taken down from the Southbank Centre now. But don't fear (especially if you live in Stratford) if you can't get along to see the Sweepers before they go too because we are currently in discussions with the Olympic Park!

John Lewis Fabric Tree 2013

Another Pirate Technics fabric tree has sprouted in a John Lewis store - this time in High Wycombe!

Bestival

Pirate Technics visited the Isle of Wight for Bestival, building a sculpture for a new arena called Temple Island.

Seated Green Man for 2013

This year for the Green Man Festival, Pirate Technics built a seated green man, with climbable walkway up one leg, over his lap and back down the other side. Children who had participated in the charm workshop could then throw their carefully crafted flower charms into his wicker basket on his lap. His seat was also a space that could be climbed inside and wishes were written and tied to the walls.
