Project Description
Making something out of nothing - Tapping into ethos and satisfaction of making things!
Using waste materials and found objects to make useful things. Creating kits and instructions on how to make wonderful and interesting objects, bags and lots of other things. Populist in nature - this draws on the Brooklyn design movement, and hopes to inspire people to make fantastic things for themselves.
Intended Outcomes
- Create other uses for post-consumer waste
- Empowering people to make their own things
- Exploring materials and playing with things for fun (all things should be fun)
- Looking at waste streams - investigating the differences in landfill and energy used in the disposal of garbage, recycling and reusing
