"Plastic Nature"

Is it trash? Is it recyclable? Can you make art with it?

Join us for a day of learning to use unconventional materials in small quilted projects.  Natalya Khorover is an artist deeply vested in reclaiming and repurposing materials that often end up choking our environment or overflowing landfills.  She uses hand and machine stitching to collage layers of single use plastics into works of art.  In the process, the original materials become unrecognizable.

Even though our recycle rate is high in Seattle, we are betting that you can find colorful food wrappers, plastic overwraps (Costco bath tissue, anyone?), Amazon shipping bags, bubble wrap, candy wrappers, newspaper bags, used color catchers, magazine photos, origami paper, wrapping papers and other raw materials in your home to prepare for a fun day of creating.
