Upcycled Bird Mobile Workshop with Candace Bradbury-Carlin

When birds fly they seem to be made of the very air they soar through. In this workshop WE WILL USE DISCARDED PLASTIC MILK JUGS to make three dimensional birds as part of a mobile.  The translucent material of the milk jug highlights the airiness of birds in flight. These mobiles are easy and fun to make.  When done, these fluttering sculptures can hang at a window, over a table, or outdoors.
