In celebration of World Earth Day, this workshop offers a creative experience that explores the reuse of plastic bags through collage techniques. Layered compositions are formed using plastic bags, arranged in both structured and spontaneous ways to create diverse visual outcomes.

The works can take abstract forms or draw inspiration from nature, guided by individual imagination and creative vision. The experience aims to foster innovation, encourage experimentation and exploration, and transform everyday waste into artworks with personal expression and new meaning.
