    This content is a brief description of a piece of furniture – a shaped walnut piece with Mackintosh hardware. The mention of Mackintosh hardware suggests that this piece of furniture is inspired by the designs of Scottish architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

    The term “shaped walnut” suggests that the piece has been crafted from the highly prized hardwood walnut and its shape has been manipulated in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. This could be in the form of curves or angles, or perhaps a combination of both.

    The use of Mackintosh hardware indicates that the piece is likely to have a distinctive design. Mackintosh is known for his Art Nouveau designs, characterised by their flowing lines and organic forms. The hardware used on this piece could be any number of things, from handles and knobs to hinges and brackets.

    Overall, this brief description gives the reader an idea of what the piece of furniture looks like and how it might have been designed. However, it does not provide any information about the practical applications of the piece or its intended use.

    Clever Octopus and KRCL Radio team up for a vinyl record stretching workshop

    Clever Octopus, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability through creative reuse, hosted a vinyl record stretching workshop on November 27, 2021. The event was held in partnership with KRCL Radio, a community radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    The workshop was conducted by Clever Octopus staff and volunteers, who showed participants how to upcycle vintage vinyl records into unique bowls. The process involved heating the records in a low-temperature oven and then using a handmade wood jig to stretch them into the desired shape.

    The vinyl record stretching technique is just one of many creative ways that Clever Octopus uses discarded materials to make art. The organization collects reusable materials from businesses, schools, and individuals in the community, diverting them from the landfill and giving them a new life as raw materials for artists and makers.

    Some of the materials that Clever Octopus repurposes include paper, cardboard, plastics, and textiles. The organization also operates a thrift store and creative reuse center, where people can shop for affordable art supplies, vintage items, and unique treasures.

    Clever Octopus believes that creativity and ingenuity can help solve environmental challenges, and the organization strives to inspire people to think differently about waste and resources. By offering workshops, classes, and events that showcase the possibilities of creative reuse, Clever Octopus hopes to empower people to make positive changes in their own lives and communities.

    KRCL Radio, which supported the vinyl record stretching workshop, is a community-supported public radio station that broadcasts local and national programming on music, news, and culture. The station is committed to promoting independent voices and offering a platform for community engagement and expression.

    The partnership between Clever Octopus and KRCL Radio reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and community building. Both organizations believe in the power of art and creativity to bring people together, spark conversation, and inspire positive change. By working together, they hope to amplify their message and reach more people who can benefit from their programs and initiatives.
