School’s out for summer winter! Join us at King Manor for Freezin’ Season, a week-long activity series for your mini-Winter Break.

Let’s consider creative recycling solutions by bringing and using plastic bags and packaging materials, synthetic garments, and decorative pieces, such as beads and ribbons to create sculptural art pieces. Sari Nordman, the teaching artist, will teach a simple knotting technique to make weaves out of recycled plastic. Participants will have an option to donate their weaves for Nordman's project to be exhibited in the future. Participants are also invited to bring clean, recycled plastic film to the workshop—the more colorful the better.

This activity is suitable and fun for the young and old. Capable fingers in tying knots are needed.

This activity is FREE, for all ages, and open to the public!

Feedback from a previous teen workshop: “I liked helping to use pieces of plastic for beautiful artwork and how colorful it was.”
