Examiner.com was on hand to detail the event and the line:
"[Kathleen Plate] uses only
recycled bottles for her designs, never wasting any part of the
bottle, whether for use in a current project or she saves them
for future ones. All the frames are made from iron scraps.
She's very proud that her studio's utility bill is just $35 a
month, considering she uses a kiln for her designs.
"There's very little impact," Kathleen says. They also
recycle the water used in the machinery for landscaping at the
studio.
When asked what inspires her, Kathleen's response was, "I love
people to know they can do something they love...its the
ultimate alchemy." Her handmade dress designs go for between
$3,000 - 5,000 and the home decor hanging pieces sell for
approximately $250 per square foot. Prices for other
items vary."
