Join Are You Mad for a workshops exploring the potential of recycled plastics. You’ll learn how to make combs, incense holders and other products using household PP plastic waste.
SLOT 1: 4.30 pm - 6:00 pm
SLOT 2: 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
In these workshops, we'll talk about the benefits of creating from waste, share ideas on how to design with circularity in mind, and open a conversation about recycling systems — what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
Everyone will leave with a few finished products made from materials that would’ve otherwise been thrown away.
These workshops are part of Alterist X Wings of Desire Event, a full-day celebration of creativity and regeneration taking place at Hackney Baths. Alongside lace-making, you’ll find upcycled fashion, live customisations, art from reclaimed materials, and a soundtrack from Wings of Desire taking us into the night.
Expect:
– Shop upcycled fashion
– Explore artworks made from reclaimed materials
– Bring a piece from your wardrobe to get customised live
– Hands-on workshops with London Lace Club, Trash Club & ARE YOU MAD
– Vegan food from Bath House Kitchen & Soulfull
– Live DJs + music all day in the garden, curated by Wings of Desire
