---->Upcycling Art Workshop Series



Object Reborn: 
Transforming Waste into Art

Welcome to Object Reborn, a workshop series hosted by Tardigrade World, where we turn community-donated materials into upcycled art. Our workshops provide a creative platform for engaging with the community and sparking innovative thinking about sustainability and waste reduction.

Our Mission

At Object Reborn, our goal is to create a fun, interactive environment where participants can explore the creative potential of waste. Through artmaking, we aim to inspire sustainable actions that can seamlessly integrate into daily life. By repurposing materials into art, we hope to show that sustainability can be both creative and accessible.

Our Impact


  • Fostering Creativity: Participants explore their unique artistic expression by repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste.
  • Environmental Advocacy: By showcasing practical examples of upcycling, we raise awareness about waste reduction and sustainability.
  • Skill Development: Participants, especially children, have developed valuable sewing skills, enhancing their fine motor abilities and concentration.

Workshop Highlights

Venue:
Our workshops are held at the Mt. Albert Library in Auckland, offering an inclusive and welcoming space for participants of all ages. Each session provides hands-on experience in upcycling waste materials into unique artworks.


Recent Workshops:
  • Monster Making (April 2024): Participants transformed denim and other waste into creative fabric monsters during Ecofest.
  • Pin Making (June 2024): This session highlighted real-life examples to guide participants through making fabric pins, with a special focus on Matariki themes.
  • Family Collaboration (September 2024): Held on Father's Day, this workshop encouraged families to work together, creating stronger bonds through the collaborative art-making process.
