You are cordially invited to join us for drinks from 5 to 7 pm on Thursday 30th April to Launch CREATIVE RECYCLING.
This exhibition will focus on finding, creating and designing ways to find new purposes for materials and objects that original purpose and use is defunct.
With recycling being a hot topic within today’s western society, everybody is aware that recycling is an important aspect to sustainable living.
Every object and material has ‘embedded energy.’ This term refers to the all the energy that went into making the materials that are being recycled. By analysing the energy that went into any given product, we can understand the real environmental cost of its manufacture, and maximise the benefit, in creating further uses for otherwise wasted materials.
What do recycled materials offer to a designer- do they inspire the designs, is it financially more accessible to use recycled materials? What is the relationship like between the designers and recycling?
Repurposing is a way of adding value to second hand materials, particularly in the hands of a creative designer and maker, whilst helping to stimulate a new, 'greener' economy.
Come and enjoy this informal exhibition and see how designers are using recycled materials to inspire and create new exciting pieces.
We thoroughly look forward to seeing you at CREATIVE RECYCLING!
