The workshop will take place on Saturday, February 10, 2024, 1 p.m. through 4 p.m. at Art Barn School of Art on 400 East in Valparaiso. Registration is open to the public with a limit of 24 participants via: https://www.artbarnschool.org/service-page/upcycled-valentines-family-workshop?category=8c64caa1-0f20-4713-a6d9-8283b0795223&referral=service_list_widget .

“Art Barn instructors will help participants turn trash into treasure during this family-fun workshop. Using materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill, such as discarded cards, ribbon, scrap paper, and small boxes and containers, participants will create beautiful Valentine’s Day treasures,” a news release from the recycling district said. Refreshments will be served, and staff from Recycling & Waste Reduction District of Porter County will be on site to talk about ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. The workshop is suitable for adults and children ages 6+ with a parent, the district said, and all materials and supplies will be provided.
