$50 includes all materials (but you’re welcome to bring your odd collection of treasures, too)

I’ve got a trash-to-treasure thing going. It’s why I support what the folks at Cracked Pots are about, and love participating in their art shows. Because once you develop a sense for reuse, you’ll find that art materials are literally everywhere: in the recycle bin, on the sidewalk, and yes, sometimes even (carefully pulled out of) the garbage can.

In this workshop, we’ll explore my fairly organized and somewhat curated collection of found “treasures” and turn chosen pieces into eyes, shoulders, feet, torsos and fingers. Or whatever they appear ready to be transformed into. We’ll assemble the emerging creatures with wire and glue, all the while exercising those creative muscles that ask “what else could this be?”

It’s all about seeing possibilities, and that’s a skill worth practicing.
