UpCycling Pianos

KIOSC, with Pianos Recycled, have joined forces to celebrate DESIGN WEEK. The THEME for 2022 is UPCYCLING. It is so important for students to understand our ‘throw-away’ society and work towards re-imaging what could be used from objects like pianos.

Curriculum Focus:

• Art and Creative Design
• Sustainability: Endangered Species (Ivory and Ebony)
• Engineering
• Electronics

There are 2 programs on offer – choose one or both!

1. Wire Weaving: Create, using piano wire, an animal weaved wire design. Add in LED TECH to have the eyes glow!
2. Sculpt or Jewels: Pulling apart the piano, use features like key hammers and pegs to sculpt or create jewelry pieces.

Sessions:

• Two Hours and students take their creations home.

Note: Program Booking will still be available after Design Week for schools to book throughout the Year!!
