RE-THINK: a project with Newcastle College's 3D-design students
Students on the 3D Design course at Newcastle College have showcased their own range of innovative and sustainable products designed with recycled or reusable materials.
The exhibition is the culmination of a term long project in conjunction with Premier Waste Management.
Twenty eight students from across the North East, all studying a National Diploma in 3D Design, were challenged by Premier Waste to construct sustainable design products out of recyclable materials that solve recycling problems, in a competition to determine which designs are best for the environment and will protect the planet in the future.
The exhibition, held at Newcastle College, saw 3D art installations such as, chandeliers made from plastic ball-pond balls, interlocking glass bottles to form a table, igloo shaped emergency housing, an electric eel lamp made from Coke cans, a decorative bowl made from old cutlery, and seating made from discarded bike parts.
