Upcycling workshop for Schools – Pocket Notepad
Do you want to liven up your classroom and show them something new? Bring them to a bookbinding workshop and create your own unique notepads by upcycling. We will guide you through the process of creating with waste materials and show you that not all old paper has to go straight to the recycling bin. In addition to working with bookbinding machines, students will experience how to create sustainably.
How will the event take place?
