SW is also plastic ! There is another workshop just across the road where artists work on recycled plastic.

“Plastic, it’s fantastic !”

 

 

Streetwires collects used plastic bottles (soap, detergent …) and makes craft with them.

 

Fisrt, artists hammer the plastic to flatten the bottle. Second, they cut it to give it the good shape. To finish, they put the pieces together to create the product like these flowers or these cute pigs!
