Fluidity Dish Wrack Planter – Green Kitchen

fluidity-dishrack-planter-6

How cool is this?  While doing your dishes you can be using the water runoff to grow plants.  That mess that you have going in your kitchen could be more aesthetically pleasing throughout the process.  This Fluidity Dish Rack Planter was created by DesignLibero, a company based in Milan, Italy.

This product would be great for a small kitchen, as it was designed with small European kitchens in mind.  You can grow herbs right on the counter to use in your cooking!  The water that runs off of the plates gets filtered through coconut fiber and clay pellets, to ensure clean water for the plant.

You will be able to tour the student’s workspaces located inside a repurposed warehouse.  There will be plenty of art to see and to purchase as well in their red-tag art sale.  Come check out live music by Devotion In Disarray and enjoy refreshments.

The show will be Friday night 6-9pm and Saturday 12-4pm.  On Friday you will have an opportunity to have your portrait taken like it’s the 1860s at MFA Photography student Buzzy Sullivan‘s tintype portrait station.  Saturday will feature a bronze casting demonstration by MFA Sculpture student John Tuomisto-Bell.  He will be heating up bronze and pouring it into a mold to create a bronze sculpture.  The show will include students from painting, drawing, fiber, intermedia, sculpture and photography emphasis areas.
