The goal of this one-day Workshop is to use art to inspire participants to recycle more and conserve natural resources. We will be working with recycled and reused materials. Email for list of recycle items you want to bring and share.

 

Participants have the opportunity to create art-using materials they gather from home, thrift stores, garage sales and found objects. We turn trash into art while keeping it out of our landfill. Throughout our workshop, each participant will learn how we can help keep our Earth a cleaner place to live and about sustainability.
