Recycled Works now has a studio (#319) at Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, VA.
Photo is part of the 50-year TFAC celebration - can you find me?
Visit Del Ray Artisans to view this fun recycled materials exhibit.
Many physical items we choose to remove from our lives can be sold/given/donated to others rather than going into our world’s overburdened landfills. It takes a conscious choice to acquire items from others rather than purchasing new items at a retail store. It also takes a little effort to offer something no longer needed to others rather than just tossing it in the trash or recycle bin. The Second Time Around art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery focuses on this thought-change concept of sustainable creativity and enhancing the artistic environmental ethos, from the featured artwork utilizing recycled materials to the special workshops and events held during the exhibit.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 5 between 7-9pm to meet curator Tracy Wilkerson and the artists.
The Second Time Around art exhibit runs from September 5–27, 2025 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are Thursday 12-6pm, Friday 12-9pm, Saturday 12-6pm, and Sunday 12-6pm (closed September 28).
Join me at Del Ray Artisans on Aug 11 to explore advanced techniques with resin.
Do you like working with resin but want to get a little more creative? In this class, we will discuss advanced resin techniques such as layering, tilting, building in three dimensions, adding lights, and more. The instructor will show physical examples of these techniques and discuss what to be aware of when using each technique. There will be time for questions and discussions during the class. This class will NOT cover resin dyes or pigment powder usage, but will touch on other possible additions to resin (such as glitter and alcohol inks).
You must already know how to use resin before taking this class. This is a lecture workshop, so registrants will not be creating anything during the class.
