Handsworth and Ocean Wise Partnership
Handsworth
Secondary artists have created coasters in collaboration with Ocean
Wise. These designs reflect ideas around Sea forestation - the act of
restoring, planting, managing and caring for underwater seaweed forests. Proceeds go to the Ocean Wise Bursary Program, serving schools that
have a high concentration of youth vulnerable to the effects of poverty.
Coasters are $20 for a set of 4, or $50 for a set of 12. Cash only to
Mr. Bogen. Email hssartdepartment@gmail.com to place an order. You can
choose to purchase a random set of any 4 designs, or provide the number
corresponding to each design in your email. (For example, write: “set of
4, numbers 2, 7, 8 and 15.” Or “set of 12, any designs.” We can also
create custom coasters with your personal photos for $30 per set of 4
coasters. Images need to have content in the centre with room around the
edge, as the image needs to be cropped into a circle. Email hssartdepartment@gmail.com for more
details.
