✨ About the Space
86 Plastic Co – https://www.86plasticco.com/
This workshop will take place at 86 Plastic, a thoughtfully curated, low-waste shop dedicated to sustainability and mindful living.
Founded by Claire, 86 Plastic was created from a deep passion for reducing single-use plastic and making sustainable choices more accessible to the community. After years of working as an educator and making small everyday swaps herself, Claire opened 86 Plastic as a space to share knowledge, raise awareness, and support a more conscious way of living.
The shop offers a welcoming, intentional environment that aligns beautifully with the values of this workshop — creativity, care, and connection. We’re grateful to gather in a space that reflects mindful choices and community-focused living.
