The Green Scene Recycled Art: May 2014

UPCYCLING ART CLASSES.

Introduction:

Upcycling or Recycling is being done from ages by our grandparents and parents. Today the bar has been set higher. We now look forward to upcycle things from less bad to more good. Before directly jumping let us first understand what the word ‘UPCYCLING ART’ means. The art of transforming objects considered as unwanted, or waste are made more sustainable, useful and beautiful, can be called as ‘UPCYCLING ART’. Some scientific measures could and should be used to upcycle waste. It is a wonderful notion to believe that our pursuits towards sustainability are grounded in science.

The correct use of laws of science helps us to enhance the value of the material through upcycing or recycling. We therefore transform something cheap to something valuable.

Role of The Green Scene.

At The Green Scene Recycled Art, we focus on the correct use of science on certain waste. We help to try and change the perception towards waste. To convert simple plastic bottle into a set of jewellery or a flower vase or a bowl or an organizer, it depends what you need it for. We at The Green Scene believe that whatever you imagine out of that waste is what you can create. As the line goes ‘imagination that is your creation’

We conduct face to face as well as online sessions to teach the scientific techniques to convert waste into useful item. We share with you the techniques and hope you will frequently use them to keep creating new things.
