Let's get creative with things we find around the house that often get thrown away. We can make art with just about anything if we just understand which materials, tools, and fasteners work well together. Gather what you have and we'll play with making stuff from common things around you. There are no right and wrong ways to do things, we'll run experiments to discover how to use what you have.
