Dryer sheets: we’ve all used them, we’ve all thrown them away. Well no more! This helpful fossil fuel derived denizen of the laundry room is recyclable in only one way - ART! AND combined with single-use plastic packaging and mesh, all sorts of paper ephemera and even fabric scraps, it becomes a wonderful new surface which can be painted on, stamped on, printed on and stitched on by hand and by machine.

Save your used dryer sheets, collect them from friends, and put them through the wash cycle with some towels. Gather up your paper ephemera, look through your pantry for soft plastic packaging and dig out those fabric scraps, the tinier, the messier, the better!

We will learn all sorts of ways to use them in your mixed media art adventures. Bring your paints, stencils, needles and thread and leave with a collection of samples to use in your next creation…. And help to save the planet.
