Upcylced Art Class Held

T-shirts were transformed into useful, wearable pieces of art! 12 people attended the Upcycling Art workshop led by Judy Mummau at Village Acres, Mifflintown on Wednesday, October 9. After seeing demonstrations on making scarves, necklaces, flowers, and more, the group upcycled their own garments into items of their choice. Participants expressed that they were surprised how easy the no-sew projects were to make. Follow us at www.facebook.com/JuniataCulturalArtsCommittee
