Classes:
Trial and Error, problem solving, experimenting...Using plastics, cardboard, wood, corks, glass and other materials that may be bound for landfill or our oceans, students will work on art projects with perhaps a functional thrust.
The creative possibilities are endless! Environmental concerns are lightly discussed helping students build up their environmental awareness as they work on their projects made from 'trash'.
Please review past posts for more pictures and info about my classes and parties. Book a party with me- For the young and young at heart-!
