Creative Recycling
Gallery Kaffistofan,
Hverfisgata 16, 101 Reykjavík
Reykjavík
August 8-22
Free!
Recycling is a major issue in these
environmentally crazy times. It may
not be the most fun topic, but some
students from the Iceland Academy
of Arts are doing their part while
expanding their creative minds. In
gallery Kaffistofan, they are holding
a two-week workshop that stresses
reusing materials in an artistic
manner. The workshop offers people
the opportunity to be inspired by
materials often thought of as trash.
Everyone is able to take what they like
from the materials and participate in
learning about reusing through the
lectures and workshops. So stretch
the muscles and make something cool
while being cool to the environment.
