Tamariki/ Whanau One Day Workshops
We run a variety of creative craft classes for families at community centres across Auckland. Check out what's on now!
Tamariki/ Rangatahi Programmes (5-10 weeks)
The ReCreators deliver afterschool art classes that will spark your child's creative spirit. Making with our hands, not only brings us joy, but they teach new skills, too! Get in contact if you want us in your child's school/community.
Upcycling is endlessly creative, sustainable and allows people to mindfully make with non-virgin materials and their own hands. Be proud to learn and share an abundance of skills and your upcycled masterpieces.
Circular Programmes (3-10 weeks)
Learn circular skills through our variety of 5-10 week programmes which allow you to build your design thinking, skills and product development through beginner, intermediate and advanced programmes.
Our shared space delivers practical, creative and innovative pathways that unlock values from localised waste streams through the sharing of equipment, space and ideas. Creating a West Auckland epicentre for a movement that will connect our creative community, rangatahi, tamariki and green entrepreneurs to ideas, resources, equipment and education to support a sustainable, low-carbon way of living.
Looking for a unique activity for a small or large event? The ReCreators can design a sustainable, upcycling activity for any occasion, e.g. Celebration, Birthday Party, Baby Shower, etc.
