SUMMARY:The Art of Upcycling
DESCRIPTION:Today's Drop-In Workshop\n\nThe average person in the U.S. creates nearly five pounds of waste per day\, and only about 32% of it is recycled or composted. That adds up to almost 300 million tons of trash each year. What if some of that “waste” could become art?Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Wednesday\, April 8th for a drop in workshop on upcycling. We will hold this event from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the SLA barn building. Here we’ll transform everyday discarded materials into imaginative sculptures\, mosaics\, and characters. Using bottle caps\, aluminum cans\, plastic lids\, old electronics\, and other recycled materials\, participants will reimagine trash as treasure.All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring clean recyclables from home to incorporate into their designs. Come ready to experiment\, collaborate\, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of art and a fresh perspective on what we throw away.This program is for anyone. All children must be accompanied by an adult.\n\n    \n                                    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n    \n        Register now\n\n        \n        \n                \n\n    \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n	\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\nSquam Lakes Association\n\nThis program will be held in the SLA Barn.
