About the Creating Art from Waste Workshop

This community-focused workshop unleashes your playful creativity to create something extraordinary and beautiful from waste. Foraged marine debris and discarded household waste are sources of inspiration for creating something new from what we already have around us.

In this workshop, you will:-

create something that’s individually yours, using marine debris and clean household and industrial waste
let play, spontaneity, creativity and imperfection guide your project
use a range of tools and techniques to create your masterpiece, without relying on sticky tape and glue
