WINE CORK MAP OF MASSACHUSETTS

For a fundraiser by the Berkshire Art Association, I donated a map of Massachusetts made from wine corks. Berkshire County is highlighted at the western end of the commonwealth through the use of corks from red wine. Adhesive was used to mount the corks on a piece of 10"x10" recycled plywood.

 

I have been saving wine corks for years, often rescuing them from wine bottles left by others in a recycling bin. I've seen cork bulletin boards made from wine corks, but was interested in doing something else. Making a map seems like a good use, even though it only used less than a dozen or so corks.
