Conference Room

Enjoy a chance to visit and be crafty with other adults. This summer the focus will be on using recycled materials to create arts and crafts, but you can always bring your own projects.

This summer the focus is learning to do art and crafts using primarily recycled materials.  

May 7—making and working with "plarn" (plastic yarn made from grocery bags)

June 4— make art with paper straws made from otherwise discarded paper and cardboard

July 2—Red White & Blue—celebrate the country’s birthday by making a mixed media collage

August 6— create art using scraps of fabric or yarn

But as always you can bring whatever your working on and just enjoy visiting and spending time with other crafty folks.
