Greene Glass 101: Rethinking and Remaking Our Recycling

In this hands-on studio class, artist Amanda Patenaude will share basic, low-tech glass techniques to rethink and redesign waste glass into new upcycled possibilities.

We’ll start with a brief lecture on how her community art projects, including her current collaboration with The Fort Greene Park Conservancy, transform and engage neighborhoods through their broken glass. Inspired to action, we will head into the studio to explore simple methods to cut glass, add graphics and collage decal imagery.

Students will transform found glass bottles and packaging to discover new utilitarian objects such as dishware, planters, lighting and more. Students are welcome to bring in their own found glass to experiment on! Students will leave this class empowered to head home and recraft their own recycling bin.
