Upcycling exhibition

Upcycled plastic bags

Upcycled plastic bags

Recently I went to the Creative Fibre national festival in Timaru and had the opportunity to attend lots of inspiring lecture-type sessions. On return home, I decided to immediately put into action one thing I had learned which was “melting” supermarket-type plastic bags, and enter some work in the WAI – Westland Arts Inc – Upcycling exhibition for members. This was the first time I had entered any work in an exhibition. My three entries were all upcycled plastic bags made from used plastic bags.
