A whale made from an old whiteboard cover, coats made of felt and recycled blankets, and a cardboard dinosaur are just a small selection of the works people can expect to see at the eighth Remade sustainable art show this Saturday.

Organised by Interweave Arts out of its cheery and colourful Invermay space, the event will again showcase a wide range of wearable art and objects created entirely from recycled materials.
Interweave director and Kim Schneider said the event will be a “sensory feast” with more than 100 works from pupils, commissioned artists, and artists with disabilities from The Studio.
Ms Schneider said the day will be a fun celebration of the artists skills, but the entertainment will “use humour to convey a very serious message.”
“It’s sustainable, wearable art, with the idea being used as a vehicle for change.”
An involvement with Interweave is not the only connection Ms Schneider has to the project, she also teaches visual arts at Lilydale District School.
Students from Lilydale District will both contribute and attend on the day.
In conjunction with Lilydale, four other schools are also involved.
That connection with local schools has proved beneficial in previous years.
“Last year we had to turn people away,” Ms Schneider said.
Launceston’s Annex Theatre will host Saturday’s event.
The 2018 program will consist of two shows: a matinee for schools and parents and a public show in the evening.
Doors will open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
