WORKSHOPS

Discover the potential of RECYCLED plastic today!

We offer a range of workshops for all ages and abilities, all using recycled plastic waste donated by our amazing communties and local businesses. 

​

We use 5 different materials for our workshops: LDPE plastic bags, HDPE & PP plastic bottle lids, PVC Vinyl banners, and some TYPE 7 3D printing waste.

​​

We often see plastic as something to use, and then throw away...BUT NOT HERE!

Join us and learn all the ways recycled plastic can be reused to create beautiful recycled plastic items and works of art. Take home skills that can be reused again and again using plastics and equipment already in your own home.

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP

HDPE & PP

Using our machines, based at Plastic Shed, we shred and melt this plastic into many different things! 

​

When melted HDPE becomes a runny liquid that can fit any mould, so if you can think of an item, it can be made from HDPE!

See our machines in action and get hands on
