Join us for a creative and eco-conscious journey into the world of upcycled gift-making, just in time for the holiday season! In this 4-hour workshop, artist Chandra Craig Rettinger will inspire you to turn items that would otherwise be put in a recycle bin into extraordinary presents and decorations– perfect for celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, Kwanzaa, Diwali, and any other joyous occasion.
Holidays are a time for expressing love and appreciation through thoughtful gifts. This workshop is designed to help you embrace sustainability and express your creativity while crafting unique, handmade gifts using upcycled materials. Learn how to transform everyday items into meaningful treasures, impressing your loved ones while reducing waste and contributing to a greener planet.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a collection of beautifully crafted upcycled gifts that celebrate the spirit of various holidays and the art of giving sustainably. Gain the confidence to apply these innovative techniques beyond the workshop, making upcycling a part of your everyday creative endeavors and holiday traditions.
The workshop is offered in partnership with Discardia Bloomington. Stephen Hale will provide a short educational piece about Discardia’s activities, upcycling, and the Center for Sustainable Living (Discardia’s umbrella organization).
Join us for the Upcycled Delights workshop and let your creativity and compassion shine as you create memorable gifts from the heart. Together, let’s bring joy to the holiday season while making a positive impact on the environment!
