Upcycled Keyrings with Clara Chu
In partnership with Envac
Reimagine everyday objects as playful accessories in this hands-on making workshop inspired by Envac's innovative waste-sorting system. Clara Chu will guide you in creating an upcycled keyring using 1–3 pre-drilled household objects. Choose from a selection of materials arranged across colour-coded stations inspired by Envac's waste streams, then experiment with colour, form and function to create a unique accessory for your keys. Through this playful making experience, you'll discover new possibilities for familiar objects while learning about waste sorting in an engaging and accessible way.
