Are you the one pausing to admire the light texture of a dryer sheet or the translucent sheen of a plastic package?
Then join the club!
These materials, which are some of the worst offenders in the plastic pollution crisis, offer great possibilities when they are recycled as art materials.
In REPURPOSER COLLECTIVE you will learn how to transform single-use plastics into layered, collaged and stitched art.
You will never look at laundry the same way after you learn how to transform dryer sheets and color catcher sheets into art material to “dye” for!
There are many more materials to explore in the MASTER CLASSES and ZOOM CHATS and the VIDEO STITCH LIBRARY. The extensive RESOURCE LIST full of books, links, podcasts, supplies and tons of interesting information awaits your attention.
Everything is available during the length of your membership, and there are 3 levels to choose from.
For creative souls, artists and artivists who are concerned about the environment and are passionate about exploring repurposed materials in art.
If you are an artist who repurposes materials to create art, then join us for innovation and enthusiasm in art making, and doing better for our planet's future.
This community will help you begin and build your very own environmentally sustainable art practice and place yourself in alignment with the new class of artist the world is seeking now.
Non-recyclable trash, single-use plastic and fabric waste are free art materials. When they are used to create art, art is the action verb which helps clean up our one and only planet and encourages more people to do the same.
Stitchers, quilters, painters, collage artists, installation artists, costume designers…
Artists working with found objects, thrift materials, plastic trash, fashion waste…
Those just beginning their artistic journey and those deep diving are all welcome.
