George Town Neighbourhood House: Tuesday , May 12 from 1pm to 2pm
Books are special. They take us on journeys far away, expand our minds, and provide comfort. But what happens to books that become obsolete, damaged, or simply no one wants? Turn old books destined for landfill into treasures that’ll take a place of pride on your bookshelf. In this workshop we’ll learn to disassemble, upcycle, and recycle books into practical items that extend their lives. This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in starting an analogue hobby in 2026, passionate papercrafters, or anyone in between.
All materials will be provided. This venue is wheelchair accessible.
ReThink Waste Tasmania is a statewide waste education initiative provided through a collaborative partnership between Tasmania’s three regional waste bodies – TasWaste South, Cradle Coast Waste Management Group and Circular North. It is supported by the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Board, which is funded by the Tasmanian Government.
ReThink Waste Tasmania acknowledges Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of the lands we learn on and pays respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge the continued connection to Land, Water, and Sky Country and the cultural practices which have kept Country healthy for thousands of years.
