Shrinky Dink Craft Day
August 12, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Did you know the City of Philadelphia cannot recycle #6 plastic? Well, let’s turn trash into treasures and make DIY shrinky dinks!
Join Jazmyn Crosby, InLiquid’s 40th Parallel North Preservation Brigades’ Artist Ambassador, to learn how to make unique shrinky dinks from recycled plastic. Stop by the Inliquid Gallery between 1- 4 pm on August 12th to participate. Crosby’s Hungry Body installation is woven into the grates outside the InLiquid Gallery and can be seen (and heard) during this event.
Disposable plastic cups, lids, clothes hangers, and plastic utensils are all plastics that cannot be recycled in Philadelphia. Shrinky Dink Craft Day will be an exciting opportunity to recycle plastics that would otherwise be sent to a landfill. Make your own custom earrings, keychains, and trinkets. Our partner, Rabbit Recycling, will donate clean #6 plastic, and InLiquid will provide markers and findings.
All ages and experiences are welcome!
InLiquid Gallery is part of the neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia, which sits on the longitudinal circle known as the 40th Parallel North. The 40th Parallel North Preservation Brigade (40PNPB) is a way for community members to come together and engage in creative ways with our impacts on the environment. You don’t have to be in it alone; join the 40PNPB to make and enjoy art, build community, and strengthen personal and collective resilience in the face of anxiety, fear, and dread that surround the issue of climate change and our future!
