Design shimmering mosaics from old CDs.
Create rag rugs from used clothes.
Got yourself an abundance of plastic bags? Get weaving.
*Creative Reuse a THING!* If you’ve been to a contemporary art museum lately, chances are good you’ve viewed at least one exhibit that boasts garbage as its sole medium.
While critics argue that trash creations look … well, … trashy, today’s guest swiftly debunks this assumption by offering truly beautiful reuse ideas for our trash + recyclables.
Carla Brown is a podcaster + artist who gleans creative inspiration from items others generally discard. She claims we don’t need to run to the art store ever again: That’s because our trash + recycle bins are already overflowing with possibility.
On today’s episode Carla tells us what to keep, how to store it + what to make. She suggests fun art projects for kids, too.
Enjoy!
