A series of free Durham Lumiere 2019 workshops is giving people a chance to create Bottle Festoon, an artwork for this year's festival.

Everyone is invited to head down to their local library to take part in the Durham Lumiere art workshops, turning used plastic bottles into chandeliers.

The art produced at the Durham Lumiere 2019 workshops will be included in the festival when it takes place in November, forming part of an artwork called Bottle Festoon.

The free Durham Lumiere art workshops are taking place at all Durham County Council run libraries and will see schoolchildren, community groups and families turn used green and white plastic bottles into chandeliers.

Professional artists Kay Henderson, Vicky Holbrough and Dawn Belshaw will lead the Durham Lumiere 2019 workshops, which are taking place on various dates from now until Friday November 1.

The Bottle Festoon Durham Lumiere workshops take place in libraries across the county

You can also take along used plastic bottles from home. Green and clear bottles are preferred, but other colours can be incorporated. Two litre plastic bottles are best but one litre and 500ml bottles can also be used.  

All bottles should be rinsed with hot water and labels should be removed.
