Check out the beautiful visible mending coming out of our recent Sustainable Stitching workshops. It's a lot of fun repairing clothes when you can add a creative flourish! Give it a go!

We had a lovely time with students from Longfellow Elementary, making lanterns with scrap materials. At the start of the activity, one little boy confided in Haya, the teaching artist, that he was nervous about the project. She reassured him that there was nothing to fear, explaining that there is no "right" or "wrong" in art and that she would help him if he needed it. Cut to him a few minutes later he excitedly showed her how he created a "lunar eclipse" with circles of tissue. She asked if he was still nervous and he said: “not anymore!” 😊

Fall back in love with your clothes! Join us on Saturday at xSpace Arts Hub to find how to repair and enhance damaged garments with visible mending. This free workshop is for all ages! For more information: https://bit.ly/33HKb65

Opinion: The life-changing magic of making do The antidote to endless, thoughtless consumption lies not in purging ourselves of the stuff we own, but rather, redefining our relationship with stuff altogether

At our recent exhibition-fundraiser, we challenged people to express themselves freely through collage on our Wall Of Creativity! Take a look at these unique and collaborative works of art!

✨Collage can be used to create fantastical scenes and surreal portraits by piecing together dissimilar images cut from magazines and newspapers. Artists from the Dada movement often used seemingly useless ephemera like tickets and candy wrappers, challenging traditional perceptions of art. Green Art Workshop teaches this technique in multiple workshops, such as Mix & Match Marionettes and Personalized Puzzles.✨

Check out these gorgeous lanterns made at our one of our Light Impressions workshops. We love how the decorations create different atmospheres; cozy, serene or exciting!

‪Our exhibition-fundraiser was so fantastic we've already decided to make it an annual event! Most of the artwork sold but we have a few pieces left for sale. Drop us an email if anything catches your eye! ‬
