Let’s consider creative recycling solutions by bringing and using recycled plastic, synthetic garments, yarn, and decorative pieces, such as beads and ribbons to create sculptural art pieces. Sari Nordman, the teaching artist, will teach how to make decorative lights from onion bags using crocheting and weaving techniques. Participants are also invited to bring clean, recycled plastic film to the workshop—the more colorful the better—to make long braids for hanging the light.

This workshop is free and open to adult learners and crafters!
