The Green Project's latex paint program was developed in an effort to reduce the amount of hazardous waste that is polluting our water supplies. We accept donations of leftover latex paint, stain and oil-based primer. Volunteers and staff process donations, sorting them by use, color and glaze, while mixing bulk batches of common colors and safely disposing of unusable paint. If you have other materials you need or would like to donate, please call the Green Project at 488-6853 or visit us at 4300 D'Hemecourt. Younger children are welcome if accompanied by an adult or older sibling.
Classes focus on developing skills and incorporating recycled materials into the creative process.
Recent projects include block printing, ceramics, painting, drawing, candle-making, wax sculpture and mask making. Here are some samples and pictures from the program. In keeping with our goal to prevent reusable items from becoming landfill, the Green Project has introduced a bicycle recycling program. We accept donations of whole bicycles, parts and tools and invite experienced and amateur mechanics to fashion whole bikes from usable parts. The adult workshops allow staff, volunteers, and guests of the Green Project to share their knowledge and skills related to home building and maintenance.
