Plastic Free July: Beeswax Wrap Workshop | 16+ yrs | Afternoon Session

Help us celebrate Plastic Free July!

Did you know there is an easy eco-sustainable solution to single use plastic wrap? They are called 'beeswax wraps'! Use these amazing re-usable wraps to keep your sandwiches and snacks fresh without plastic.

Join our workshop at North Ryde to learn how to make your own wraps for yourself or as a gift. This workshop is being presented by City of Ryde Libraries staff in parnership with City of Ryde Circular Economy andf Resilience.

In the session you will:

• learn about the different methods to create the wraps;
• choose from a selection of patterned cotton fabrics;
• make 2 wraps (approximately 34cm x 34cm) using different methods; and
• take home an instruction guide to make more wraps at home.

You are welcome to bring and wear an apron and you may want to wear older clothes. Warning - this workshop is NOT suitable for children as there will be hot substances and the use of irons involved. The workshop is suitable for ages 16 and over only.

NOTE - there are two sessions to choose from (morning at 11am or afternoon at 2pm). The content of both sessions are the same.
