Home Education Exhibition - “Waste to Wear”

We recently mounted an exhibition at Bridgnorth Library of the output from our recent project for young people and families to design and create outfits and accessories out of safe waste and recycled materials.

Many thanks to everyone who helped to make this such a success.For registered members of Otherwise-Engaged more pictures can be found in the gallery

Purpose of the project.

• 

  The aim of the project was for home educated families in rural areas of the district and beyond to work in collaboration.
• The dynamics of the group was supportive to create a community outcome promoting art as a means of communication.
• The message of the project will highlight the serious environmental issues of waste, pollution and conserving our natural resources.
• By creating this new work together in an enjoyable way, more participation in arts events may be encouraged.
• Whilst leading this project my aim was to encourage participants to share their skills and talents.
• My overall objective was that participants gain a real sense of enjoyment and ownership whilst collectively getting a serious message across to a wider audience and influencing habits, attitudes and encouraging pride in our beautiful environment.

Many thanks to everyone involved for their support and helping to make this exhibition possible.
