Upcycled Workshops and Activities
Upcycled Notebook Workshop
Making use of redundant materials challenges us to create new and useful objects from what we formerly regarded as rubbish.
For this upcycled workshop, we examine a range of up-cycled objects and finish by making a visually unique notebook from old maps.

Upcycled Juice Carton Wallet Workshop
Making use of redundant materials challenges us to create new and useful objects from what we formerly regarded as rubbish.
Our Upcycling workshop uses the Tetra-Pack-to-wallet design to demonstrate the transformation. This example shows how discarded cardboard, aluminium and plastic can be used again to create a new object which is both durable and hard-wearing.

Litter Fish Workshop
When it comes to environmental topics is the issue of litter. 62% of people in England drop litter, although only 28% will admit to it. Clearing up the streets and green spaces in England alone costs £1 billion a year. There are not just direct costs involved with the dropping of litter, the RSPCA receives around 7,000 calls a year regarding animals that have been injured by litter; this includes pets as well as wildlife.
Firstly, we explore the issues through an interactive presentation on the subject of litter in the UK and examine single-use plastics and their alternatives. Each child will then be invited to decorate a cork fish with colourful recycled scales they have made to bring awareness to the problem of litter in our surroundings. This highlights how we can all play a part in supporting a beautiful and healthy natural environment. The fish create eye-catching artworks which can be taken home or displayed in school. The main aim of this workshop is to raise young people’s awareness of the problem of litter and the effect it has on our natural environment.
