A Step-By-Step Guide for Creating with Repurposed Trash
Led by: Emilie Wingate
Where: Hybrid In-person at Chicago Creative Reuse Exchange [2124 W 82nd Pl, Chicago, IL 60620], or live remotely on Zoom
When: Saturday, September. 26 @ 1pm - 3pm CT
In this class, participants will learn how to create a puppet skeleton/base from recycled materials and everyday household items. The class is a 3.5 hour step-by-step guide on making a basic animal skeleton using plastic, forks, cardboard, tape, string and other common overlooked materials. The guide is a simple easy-to-follow jumping point for participants to make their own simple or complex, creature of choice, whether that be flying, swimming, crawling, real, or imaginary. Come learn to explore materials, enjoy the process of hands-on puppet ideation & experimentation, and think differently about your trash while learning a bit of animal anatomy while you're at it!
*This class is fun for all ages, though it is recommended that children under 10 years old have a caretaker there to help out with the process.
