Free workshop with 3R Art Paper Rose Project

Tomoko Lipp will be giving a free paper rose workshop at Ruth's Table ruthstable.org on
December 2, 2011 - 6PM - 9PM
Join us for a great evening!

 From Tomoko's card;
"Rose is a symbol of love.  We show our love of the Earth and love of all people by making a paper rose.  In giving a Paper Rose to another, we are reminding them of the 3R's, 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle'.  3R art is a 100% volunteer, not for profit organization, promoting the 3Rs in a positive way through the creation of recycled art.

a lot of people who are signing up just by our samples,

Jonathan Cranch of FabMo fame and Stephanie a
volunteer for the reception table
