On Tuesday afternoon, Habitat Restore's Kathleen Van Den Wymelenberg and I ran a Recycled Art event at the Pinney Branch of the Madison Public Library.  The event was a part of a sustainability speaker/event series that has been running at the
branch throughout the Fall.

We gathered all kinds of materials from the Habitat ReStore – PVC pipe, washers, springs, tiles, and other unidentified constructable objects.  We had eleven children, ages 2-12, participate in the event. They picked out their media and started to create their masterpieces.

Creations ranged from egg carton spiders to tiles with faces.  We had PVC pipe aliens and Marble launchers.  The kids had a great time and so did we!
