Turning trash into art

July 17, 2024

We need your domestic trash. Well not all of it, just things like fruit and onion net bags, bubble wrap, cheese packaging, chip packets, bread bags, pre-packaged meals, pet food, and other packaging with the silver lining. 

Emily is a Textile Art teacher using trash to turn kitchen waste into waterproof material. This material can be used to make bags, toiletry bags, sandwich bags etc etc. Trash includes cheese wrappers, fruit and onion net bags, bread bags etc. Soft drink bottles are turned into buttons, sequins etc. 

Stock feed bags and old vinyl billboards may be called for in a couple of weeks.  Drop off your clean, dried trash to the Raglan Community House Budget Service. While you are at Raglan Community House book in with Denise, Suz or Mike, for the fascinating sustainability workshop ‘Turning trash into textile art’. 

Limited places – 20 people only. When: Friday 19th July 2024, Time: 3.30pm – 5.30pm, Venue: Basement Room Cost: Koha
