Zero Waste Christmas Ideas Workship
Sick of Christmas always being about consumption?
Come along to our Zero Waste Christmas workshop and hear from passionate local Ruth Webb who will share ideas to limit our impact on the earth this Christmas.
You will get a chance to learn the Japanese art of furoshiki (fabric gift wrapping) or make a beeswax wrap. There will also be a small market selling zero waste gifts so you can get some stocking fillers while supporting local crafters (cash only).
There will be refreshments provided, it’s free to attend, but please register by emailing ruthstour@yahoo.co.uk.
Friday 13 November at 7.30pm at Te Awamutu Bible Chapel
