Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

Did you know that the majority of crayons are derived from petroleum byproducts? Or that paint particles account for 58% of the microplastics found in the ocean? We know that selecting art products that are safe and environmentally-responsible can be difficult! Join us to discuss the various kinds of art supplies, safe ways to use up your current supply, and alternatives for future replacement. Though our main focus will be lecture and discussion, we will also experiment with some of the more eco-friendly materials currently available. All materials provided.
