Art & Craft From Waste
The Art & Craft from Waste project gets school children in Mumbai to explore and use a range of waste materials within their art-n-craft classes, by developing new and easy-to-adopt ideas and techniques. This will make children aware of the environmental problems caused by garbage and how they can be a part of the solution, by looking at waste as a cheap resource to be used meaningfully. After the project finishes, a Handbook on Art-n-Craft from Waste will be published, to ensure that the work carried out in this project can reach a wider audience of teachers and students throughout Mumbai and India .

Famous quotes containing the words art, craft and/or waste:
“Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it?”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
