The art farm has devised a simple elegant hands-on project to introduce the art farm concept to our wider community on the Sunshine Coast. We’re calling it the Lumber Wrap project. Lumber wrap is a durable woven fabric used to ship exposed lumber across large distances. Because of its polyethelene coating, it is also unrecyclable and ends up in our landfills. Using only our hands, our heads and a little bit of thread, artfarmers have designed unique hand-sewen art bags that can be made using the lumber wrap. We see it as the perfect expression of our core mandate: art + nature = change. We’re using our creative skill with fabric and thread (art) and our desire to divert the waste stream (nature) to build one elegant product that inspires (change).
The art farm needs a for-profit partner to launch Phase One of the Lumber Wrap Project. In order to mobilize our artfarmers – to assemble the team of people who will make these products with their own hands – we need a courageous like-minded business to take this leap along side us.
