SEWING & UPCYCLING WORKSHOPS
Interactive Sewing Workshops
From our Collingwood studio, we host several workshops a week to engage local teams on upcycling and circular practices. Each participant will leave with new skills to repair or upcycle their own garments at home.
It's a great way to connect with your team on purposeful initiatives. To date, we have worked successfully with a range of local teams, including Converse Australia and Lululemon Athletica.

Your waste can tell a story...
Partnership Material Remanufacturing
Into Carry specialise in turning a wide variety of discarded material into handmade carry bags. From company branded soft plastic to the busted couch in your lunch room. Reimagining waste as a resource not only diverts it from landfill, but can be used to engage your community on circular economy practices. Make it exciting, make it accessible!
