With so much waste being created everyday and most of it ending up in our natural environment we need to educate ourselves and others ways in which to 'reuse, recreate and recycle'.
On Friday I am running art activities held in Rouse Hill shopping centre. They have a bit of an environmental theme going on and I was asked -through Zest Events- to create an art workshop. The theme was based on plastic. We will be weaving using old plastic bags and making flowers made from bags and other plastic materials.
Much of the material for the workshop came from Reverse Garbage in Marrickville and my collection of plastic bags (I'm not proud of it). Every participant will receive a "green" bag in replacement of their plastic bag that they have weaved.
The final weaving will be displayed somewhere in the shopping centre as a reminder to shopper to say "No" to plastic bags.
If you are in the area we love to see you.
