Workshops encourage art creation through reusing, recycling, repurposing

The Irrigation Festival Innovative Arts and Crafts Fair is partnering with local craft artists people to teach workshops that demonstrate the creation of items using the principles of reuse, recycle and repurpose.

Artist Lani Madison leads a TP Tube Tag Book Workshop from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at the Shipley Center, 921 E. Hammond St., Sequim. TP Books have four pages (rolls) with four pull out tags. Each page is decorated, with little pockets to put tags or quotes or gift cards in. The $25 fee includes workshop materials.

Sign up directly with Lani for the TP Book Workshop at 360-460-8592.

Show off new creations from the workshop or other items made through reuse, recycle or repurpose at the Irrigation Festival Innovative Arts and Crafts Reuse Showcase, held during the first weekend of the festival, May 4-6.
