Insect Hotel at Red Dirt Studios

A Bugs Hotel for the community children to create.
This project will go on living at one of the school grounds to offer shelter to insects in need of a nest and home.



For this project we used gleaned plastic materials that we incorporated in each hotel room with found organic material.

Watching this documentary is music to our ears and a total and absolute pleasure to watch. I highly recommend it for all young and older public.
