Recycling? Garbage? Or potential art?

WHAT IS IT?

The Burnaby Arts Council is hosting the workshop in connection with its ReVision: the art of recycling exhibition, a group show that will run from Sept. 21 to Oct. 26 – featuring a variety of art made from discarded materials and waste.

One of the artists, Lori Goldberg, will lead two workshop sessions in making art from waste plastics.

The workshops are on Sunday, Oct 6*, with sessions from noon to 1:30 p.m. and from 2 to 3:30 p.m. They take place at Deer Lake Gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave.

 

WHO CAN TAKE PART?

Everyone. But each workshop is limited to 25 seats, so sign up ahead if you want to be one of them.

Register through www.eventbrite.ca.




WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

Bring your own recycled materials! That can mean pretty much anything – plastic packaging, bottles, caps, cutlery, toys, parts of old computers or phones, metal pull tabs from soda cans, tinfoil pans, cardboard boxes, egg cartons, magazines, newspapers, wine corks, rice bags …
