COME & TRY: Recycling Beach Plastic with Nick from Precious Oceans Plastics

COME & TRY: Precious Ocean Plastics – Recycling beach found plastics

Come along for a creative, hands-on session exploring the possibilities hidden in the plastic we use and discard every day.

In this Precious Ocean Plastics Come & Try, you’ll learn about different types of plastic, how to identify them, and which plastics can – and can’t – be recycled. We’ll look at plastic collected from our coastline and consider how something usually seen as waste can become a useful and creative material.

You’ll have the chance to experiment with transforming plastic into something new and make your own small creation to take home.

No previous experience is needed – just bring your curiosity and a willingness to have a go. It’s an opportunity to create, learn, share ideas and look at plastic a little differently.

PLEASE NOTE: Our Come & Try sessions are offered free to active BeachPatrol members who give their time to caring for and protecting our coastline. This might be through regularly taking part in beach clean-ups and collecting marine debris, or through advocacy and other work supporting better outcomes for our coast and marine environment.

We recognise that not everyone is able to physically participate in beach clean-ups, and that looking after our coastline happens in many different ways.

These sessions are our way of giving something back to the people who contribute their time and energy to this work, while creating an opportunity to come together, get creative and share conversations about the marine debris we collect and the coast we care for.

This Come & Try session is part of Stories From The Sea, a community arts project exploring creative responses to marine debris.

Stories From The Sea is a project by Colleen Hughson (AKA Serial Beachcomber), developed with BeachPatrol3280-3284 and supported through the Regional Arts Australia Practice in Community program.

The BeachPatrol3280 Killarney Arts Residency is proudly supported by Moyne Shire Council through its Creative Residencies Program.

BeachPatrol is a completely volunteer-run organisation, and we rely on donations to help us continue caring for and advocating for our coastline.

If you’re not currently an active BeachPatrol member but would like to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to BeachPatrol. Your support helps us continue our beach clean-ups, community activities and advocacy for a cleaner, healthier coastline and marine environment.
