Workshop: Exploring Color, Craft and Composition

Trash to Treasure was a series of individual, hands-on workshops exploring creative possibilities with leftovers.

Through a variety of topics, the series invited participants to engage with diverse materials and techniques in playful and experimental ways, focusing on creative processes rather than predefined outcomes and questioning common perceptions of what is considered “trash.”

Using self-directed, self-paced learning approaches and methods of self-expression, the workshops aimed to build participants’ confidence and self-efficacy, encourage them to try new things, and challenge the widespread belief of “not being creative.” At its core, Trash to Treasure empowered participants to simply start, see the endless potentials in everyday objects, experiment freely and sustainably, and enjoy the creative process.
