Dive into The Plastiquarium with David Edgar


 

Thursday, June 6th, 5-8pm

 

Meet artist David Edgar…master recycler, and creator of decorative artworks from recyclable detergent bottles. Making recycled plastic art truly energizes his creative spirit, resulting in the marine creatures of The Plastiquarium. Working with these consumer-based recycled materials results in expressive, uniquely crafted and affordable artworks. The pieces are colorful, lightweight and durable. Oh, and they help save the planet too!

  • David will demonstrate how to make one of his  famous recycled flowers (see below).
  • Meet Robin Edgar, David’s wife, who designs earrings using the tiny, unusable yet colorful plastic pieces leftover from David’s sculptures.
  • Purchase their book, Fantastic Recycled Plastic and have it personally autographed!
  • Meet other local artists whose work focuses on recycling and enjoy wine and light refreshments.

Our Spring Window

(although it's sleeting as this is being written!)

 

 

 We may never want to see a piece of brown kraft paper again, but it was worth it!  We twisted discarded packing paper, glued it together and painted it green.  And then.....

amazing plastic bottle flowers by

Green Art Studios adorned the jungle vine.  

 

 

Flowers are approximately 12" in diameter, on 2' tall wooden dowels and are sold individually.  They are truly spectacular in person!  

 

New Artists! 

   

From Skrapmonkey: 

 

Krazy combinations of scrap-yard finds.  

He takes all kinds of discarded metal pieces and artfully welds them together into sculptural planters, candle holders, or both!   

 


 

From Joshua North-Shea:

 

Bamboo flutes, handcrafted and mathematically tuned.
