WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
We are all aware that plastic rubbish blights our lives. Now is the moment to do a spot of very personal recycling. Start to see waste as a raw material that can be transformed into new designs to decorate your home.
TELL ME MORE
As well as being a very hands-on, practical day, it’s also a chance to learn about sustainable design with an informal talk and a Q & A, then you choose the base colours and vein colours from pre prepared discs and sheets of plastic.
You are of course encouraged to bring your own plastic to recycle, although sadly, there will be no lack of waste in the studio ready to use. They operate a free collection service around Brighton and Hove, which is the studio location and also where this workshop is based.
If you would like to recycle your own rubbish, check for ‘symbol 4’. This is the plastic commonly found in carrier bags, bubble wrap and packaging.
Weez and Merl are the artists behind this project, who want to challenge the throwaway culture, by demonstrating the beauty of plastic, and you only have to look at their cheese boards and platters, to be convinced. They look more like slices of marble than waste. The results of their work are the epitome of modern chic.
Rather than shipping huge amounts abroad, why not study the art of melting and shaping, and get hands on with the circular economy.

We were very fortunate on this tour, as the weather was beautiful for late October. Our guide was very informative and pointed out various historical and other facts. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the grounds and the deer in the park, as well as the nicely time pub stop. Highly recommended
We had a fantastic time exploring different aspects of photography. Our guide was personable, informative and gave us clear instructions on how to improve our shots. Would totally recommend!
Our experience at the Palm Court for the ‘Afternoon Tea’ was divine, a calm atmosphere coupled by friendly service by all staff particularly ‘Kim & Efrey’. We arrived to the location earlier and kindly escorted to our table where we could explore the menu & unwind. The cutlery was immaculate served in Silver Wear, ‘Kim’ explained each tier as vegetarians my Mum & I had a variety of fresh sandwiches. The scones were warmly kept in a cotton bag and throughout our Tea we were acknowledg...
The Urban photography with James was a birthday present from my wife, all communications with Claire via Indytute were spot on and the meet was on time. James is a skilled photographer and all round nice chap who was able to communicate to the array of clients with varying skills, ages and equipment. The 90 minutes flew by and centred around four photography tasks to sharpen the skills. The last task was quite an enlightening experience for me, James instructed us to walk down Brick Lane and a...
