Reverse Garbage Creative Workshops
🗓 Regular workshops through the year
What is it?
Reverse Garbage runs hands-on creative workshops in Marrickville where children make and build using reclaimed and recycled materials.
Who is it for?
Children roughly 8 to 12 who love making, tinkering and inventing — and families who care about sustainability.
Beginner friendly?
Yes. There's no right answer and no experience needed — that's rather the point.
What do children usually do?
Children design and build their own creations from donated and reclaimed materials, problem-solving as they go.
What should parents expect?
Expect a busy, creative, cheerfully messy session where children are trusted to make their own decisions about what to build.
Why Homeschool Link recommends it
It quietly teaches two things at once: creative problem-solving, and the idea that materials have another life in them. Children leave having made something genuinely their own.
Why families appreciate it
Families appreciate the sustainability message landing through doing rather than through a lecture.
