Create beautiful collage art using recycled paper you can find around the house!

Join volunteers from WSU Snohomish County Extension Sustainable Community Stewards to create upcycled art and learn how to reduce waste in Snohomish County. We encourage participants to bring old magazines, newspapers, and other paper materials from home for collaging. We will provide all other supplies for collaging.

The workshop begins with a short presentation on reducing your impact on the Earth. The sustainability coordinator will explain how art can be a mode for positive environmental change. Then, an art teacher will lead a guided collage activity using recycled paper.

Additionally, participants will use X-Acto knives for the collaging portion, but there is a 13 and up restriction. Children under 13 are required to use safety scissors or have an adult assisting them.

Registration is suggested but not required to help determine the quantity of supplies needed. Head to https://bit.ly/monroeupcycle to view the Monroe Library’s event listing and register.
