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 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

Workshop Facilitators

The Creating Art from Waste Workshops are usually facilitated by either or both Mardi (left in the photo) from ReNewy Living and Diana from See ya Sista. Di is an experienced artist who creates art from found and foraged materials.

Passionate about waste reduction, we guide you in embracing your creativity to transform waste into something remarkable. We personally forage, collect, and clean the marine debris and waste, in preparation for your workshop.

We hope you’ll leave with something you’re proud of, as well as letting it be the impetus for every day conversation about minimising our waste.

Please note: there may be alternative facilitators for this workshop, based on availability and circumstances.
