Event description

Embrace the art of DIY this Christmas by making your own gifts for friends and family.

Sydney artist Nichola Bryan aka 'The Bowerbird Herd' promotes sustainability and ecological awareness by creating playful artworks from collected and found waste materials, including litter from the Parramatta River, local bush tracks, playgrounds and recreational areas. Her works explore both the positive and negative impact humans can have on animals and our environment.

Let Nichola help you to rethink waste; make your own sustainable artwork using household ‘waste’ items. We will supply canvases, glue and provide some materials. Participants are encouraged to bring salvaged materials from home to create their own astonishing piece of art.

Suitable for all-ages.

The Bower Reuse and Repair Centres is a visionary environmental charity with a bold social mission: to reduce waste, empower communities, and promote sustainable living. Every initiative is grounded in the principles of waste avoidance—educate, reuse, repair, refurbish, and recycle—transforming environmental values into practical, community-driven action.

Across multiple workshop facilities, The Bower offers hands-on training in carpentry/woodwork, home DIY, metalwork, and more, led by expert facilitators using reclaimed materials. Our dedicated plastics department transforms discarded plastics into usable components for repair and repurposing, including through advanced techniques like 3D printing. We also operate one of Australia’s only reclaimed steel bike frame manufacturing programs, showcasing circular design in action.

In partnership with frontline agencies, we provide essential household goods to those in need, diverting significant volumes from landfill while building skills, resilience, and community.

When you take part in a workshop, you’re actively supporting our mission to create a more sustainable and equitable future.
