MAKE WORKS UAE PRESENTS PRECIOUS PLASTIC
BY TASHKEEL
Every year, 2.5 million tons of plastic are consumed in the UAE and only 6% is actually recycled.

The workshop will explore how specialised machines can be utilised to create useful products out of waste. Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will learn about how this process can contribute to their art and design practice and what tools, materials or products can be fashioned out of plastic waste.
This workshop is presented by Make Works UAE is a growing online directory of manufacturers, fabricators and suppliers open to working on small orders with artists and designers.
