Designing the afterlife of objects: a mini reuse make-a-thon

This OHS workshop includes a short tour and mini-make-a-thon at Concordia University's Centre for Creative Reuse (CUCCR).

Together, we will explore afterlives of objects, creative reuse, institutional waste reduction strategies, and make funky things from old electronics and other discarded materials!

For instance, we will isolate electronics components and cast these in clear epoxy resin or glycerine to preserve and turn them into ornamental objects - keychains, necklaces, or bracelets.

The workshop will serve as a platform to collectively discuss and engage with the topic of electronic and other types of waste.

Come explore how open access to used materials can fuel creative practice and contribute to a circular economy!

Workshop materials as well as tea, coffee, and snacks will be provided.

In the very unlikely scenario that we will have to cancel the event, participants will receive a 50% refund. The remaining 50% covers materials already purchased for the workshop.
