Imagine the drama of Iron Chef... for Louisville crafters. If you love a good competition, no matter the terms, check out the April 16 Creative Reuse Art Form Throwdown (C.R.A.F.T.). Good Garbage [4] is organizing the event, with proceeds going toward a “new to us” cargo van to support the non-profit’s workshops, educational outreach and donation retrieval.
Eight teams of two will battle through the brackets, completing assigned craft challenges with the materials provided – and the judges can be bribed, so that skill will come in handy, too.
A wine and beer cash bar will be provided, as well as food, a silent auction, raffles and door prizes. Old 502 Winery [5]’s fun atmosphere should help inspire some creativity.
To see Louisville’s C.R.A.F.T. Champion crowned, or try for the crown yourself, register at the Good Garbage site [6]. Entry fees are $40 per team, or $25 for audience members.
Good Garbage, which is dedicated to collecting and diverting recyclable materials [7] to educators, students, crafters and artists, is ramping up for lots of spring and summer activities: kid camps, compassionate creations projects and five dollar First Fridays for adults are just a few. Show your support!
