IndieGoGo Launch for Scraptorzoic Era at Magdalen Project

We are about to launch our crowd-funding pledge on IndieGoGo for our Scraptorzoic Era at the Magdalen Project - an eco farm and charity-run education centre straddling the Somerset/Dorset border, near the Jurassic coast.  Please watch this space over the next couple of days for further details and the IndieGoGo link...

Scraptors in Anthony's garden

Casespace, Bruton Museum

One of the Scraptors - Fiona Campbell - is having an Exhibition of her smaller sculptures and drawings at 'Precious and Primal', Casespace, Bruton Museum from 1 - 29th February.  The work incorporates recycled materials, mainly in steel, copper and wire.  Some of the drawings on show relate to our next planned Scraptors' event at the Magdalen project, for which we're about to launch our IndieGoGo fund-raising bid (Feb-March).

For further details please visit Fiona's blog

Whitespace Productions

S-J of Whitespace Productions has kindly made a shorter film version of our Scraptors' Sculpture Trail at Stourhead to help with our IndieGoGo fund-raising launch - planned for February and March.  See recently revamped website: http://www.whitespace-productions.co.uk/

IndieGoGo pledge - plea for materials

We are in the final stages of preparing our film and presentation for our IndieGoGo pledge.  An international crowd-funding site, IndieGoGo will hopefully help us finance our exciting new project - a Scraptorzoic Era at the Magdalen Project, an eco farm and charity-run education centre straddling Somerset/Dorset.

Floating Diatom drawing - one of the choices for perks

We will provide perks for donations.  Perks range from limited edition Scraptor prints on hand made paper donated by Wookey Hole (see drawing above), exclusive to the Magdalen project; a weekend in a Yurt at the Magdalen Project for 8 people and a one-off Scraptors’ Sculpture. The most generous donors can have a link to their website as well as other benefits.  


As we like to recycle, if anyone has clean thin cardboard tubing (eg from Christmas wrapping) or thin flat card we have a good use for it!  Other materials such as scrap steel tools, wire/old wire sieves, copper, tin, rope/old football goal netting (no plastic) etc would also be much appreciated.  Contact our email: scraptors@hotmail.co.uk

A giant waterbird for Magdalen

This is Anthony's giant Waterbird on his lawn. We we plan to float it on on one of the large ponds at the Magdalen Project in the summer when we plan to create the Scraptorzoic Era on its farm. Nearby will be a nest with weird chicks hatching out of eggs in a nest.. The five feet high neck is piping retrieved from outside a house in south London where a cannabis factory had been closed down. We are not called the Scraptors for nothing.

At Magdalen Project near Crewkerne preparing our next venture

 Above and below we placed a Tribe of Humanoids in a wooded ravine in the farm of the Magdalen Project for a photo shoot. In the summer we will be creating the fauna and flora of the Scaptorzoioc Era on the farm. The heads of  the Humanoids were hoppers for lawn mowers

 Magdalen is letting us make things from a pile of scrap. Below we root around.

Donation of paints

Ridgeways, Shepton Mallet has very kindly donated a truck load of old or recycled usable car paint to Fiona for our sculptures. Much appreciated, as we plan to create a series of colourful pieces for our next Trail at the Magdalen Project.
