| "I thought it was amazing that you could make things out of lint...I think it's a good thing to use your imagination, because if no one ever used their imagination, a lot of things in the world wouldn't come to be." Eight-year-old Daniel Grzybek in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette North Edition, 2003.

Creative Responses
Anyone who receives a lint sculpture, or is simply inspired by the project, is invited to submit a creative response. All submissions are added to my permanent historical record and are often displayed at exhibitions of the work, including public exhibitions at Duds 'N Suds. Creative responses can include stories, poems, drawings, collages, photographs and anything you can dream up. Below are some recent samples.
Participants in the project are also invited to join Lint Lessons, free art classes offered at Duds 'N Suds Laundromat located at 5430 Centre Avenue in Pittsburgh. Currently, classes are offered on Monday evenings from 7:00-9:00 PM and at random times during the rest of the week. To get a complete Lint Lessons schedule, email me.
