Trash to Treasure: Transform Your Junk Mail Into Beautiful Holiday Cards (Adults and Youth 12+ with a Registered Adult)
Recycle your junk mail and drink containers into holiday cards! We’ll make fresh paper from the junk mail on the first day of class. On the second day, we’ll use Tetra Pak packaging to make and print a dry point etching for the front of our cards.
Special Notes
- VisArts will provide Tetra Pak cartons. Please bring your own junk mail, old notes, old art etc. Any non-glossy paper will work! Before class, tear your recycling into thin strips and soak in water overnight.
If under 18, student must be accompanied by a registered adult. Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible. On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
