Whimsical Creatures – Turning Trash into Treasure!
What a fabulous couple of workshops these were!
Over a series of after-school sessions, local children from Corryong and Tallangatta were invited to let their imaginations run wild, transforming everyday recycled materials, including plastic bottles and newspaper, into their very own whimsical creatures.
With a little guidance, some paint, plenty of newspaper and a whole lot of imagination, ordinary discarded items began taking on a life of their own. From colourful birds to curious creatures with big eyes, long noses and plenty of personality, the results were just wonderful!
I love watching what happens when children are given the tools, a little encouragement and the freedom to explore their own ideas. Their creativity never ceases to amaze me.
A lovely opportunity to learn new skills, explore the possibilities of recycled materials and, most importantly, have a whole lot of fun along the way.
A big thank you to Towong Shire Council for sponsoring these creative workshops and helping bring a little more imagination into our local community.
And to all our young artists – you did a fabulous job!
Who knew a plastic bottle and a bit of newspaper could become something quite so magical?
