New Gen ShrinkityDinkity
#6 plastics are notoriously difficult to recycle. We plan to collect and reuse plastic takeout boxes (made from #6 plastics) from local restaurants so you can create one-of-a-kind accessories (charms, belt buckles, guitar picks, luggage tags, etc) during this program. If you see a “6” on the bottom of your next takeout box, bring it with you! This program is also in partnership with the Mint Museum of Craft and Design. Attendees will receive a free pass to see the “Ornament as Art” exhibit.
