Hi,
Some of you may have noticed the colourful art object hanging from the ceiling near the study tables on the Kingsway side of the building.
30 students from the Ceramics and Sculpture Class of teacher Donna Clark at Alpha Secondary created this green art installation after a fieldtrip to view the green features of the new Tommy Douglas Library.
Using “Plarn” made from recycled shopping bags, students knit and did macrame to create a bright, lively piece of art to enhance our interior and remind people that “upcycling” can convert waste into new materials, and sometimes even an object of beauty.

Woww! impressive! That is such a great idea! I have a friends who has a hand bag made from plastic bags too! This is such an environmental project. I shall introduce this project to my Green Team in our school. Thanks!
