"The Glasgow School of Art's Sculpture & Environmental Art Department (SEA) invites you to explore their ongoing collaboration with Midton Acrylics, focusing on the innovative use of the recycled material 'Remade'. This partnership, initiated in 2021, emerged from SEA's Materials Matter initiative, aiming to reintegrate hands-on engagement with materials post-lockdown. Amidst digital curriculum shifts during the pandemic, students faced material limitations in their home studios. The collaboration with Midton provided access to recycled materials, fostering environmental literacy and enhancing material skills. This dynamic partnership not only empowered students to explore new dimensions but also encouraged Midton's team to embrace fresh perspectives. Experience the transformative impact this collective action had on students, staff, and industry professionals, highlighting environmental consciousness, material expertise, and how it enriched professional practices cultivated through this collaborative venture."
