Big Draw Festival classes continue in Milford Oct. 17

This year’s Big Draw Festival DE theme is A Climate of Change with an emphasis on using art to explore recycling, reusing, and protecting the environment.

The challenge for instructors is to use recycled materials to make art, like creating scrap glass picture frames or making a collage using mixed media.
