Creative Uses of Recycled Materials
Local Girls Rebecca Griffiths and Victoria Geary are the creators of ‘Pretty Rubbish’ a recycling textile company who are providing community based Swap shops and recycled textile workshops. Participants can spend the day swapping their unwanted glad rags and learning exciting new ways to funk up their wardrobes through hands on workshops in recycled textile accessories.
The Pretty Rubbish girls are also available for tips and guidance on the day on easy ways to re-vamp or re-make your wardrobe- showing the local community that style and beauty can come cheap and that new clothes don’t have to ‘cost the earth’.
