Carla Brown is a creative reuse artist who had a podcast called Trashmagination, where she produced, recorded, and hosted 125 episodes on how to creatively reuse a huge number of different recycled materials. The podcast is on hiatus, but past episodes are still being accessed, and she is actively continuing to post her own artistic reuse creations on social media.
Her goal for the Trashmagination podcast was to have it be a creative reuse peptalk. She wants to help people who are on a journey to zero waste. Today she continues that journey to make beautiful, useful items. Her current focus is on creatively reusing t-shirts and turning them into woven rugs and turning upholstery samples into storage containers.
Carla offers some great advice to other reuse artists on how to approach projects, choose what and how much to collect for reuse, and find time for your art.
