Sue Silverstein Needs Yarn and Roll Up Window Shades For Her Art Classes

Sue Silverstein needs yarn and roll up window shades for her art class.   You can send them to:

Sue Silverstein, Bishop Gibbons High School, 2600 Albany Street, Schenectady, New York, 12304.

Sue texted pictures of some of the paintings and mixed media pieces her students are making. These are nice!  I texted her back, I love the “string” water.  

It’s mixed media with paint and yarn.  And it seems there are a bunch of girls in Sue’s classes that are “going thought yarn like crazy.”  Not only are they using them in mixed media pieces, but they’re also crocheting all kinds of things including flower bouquets.

Yarn is an easy one.  There are always people who have extra yarn.  Even I have some that I can give to Sue.

It’s the window shades that might be a bit tougher.

Except that it was only a year or so ago that I got rid of the window shades that were in the house when we moved in. (If only I knew Sue could use them) I’m not sure what plans Sue has for the shades. I can picture them being used as a surface to paint on, but I’m intrigued to see what her students create.

So if you have any old or extra yarn that you’re looking to give a good home to where it will be used well.  Or if you want to finally get rid of the old window shades stored in your attic, you can send them to Sue and her students will make them into art.

You can mail the yarn and window shades to: Sue Silverstein, Bishop Gibbons High School, 2600 Albany Street, Schenectady, New York, 12304.
