Workshop will go vinyl

South Canterbury Eco Centre activator Alice Brice said the centre in Redruth hosted a children's activity during every term break, and these school holidays, they would be upcycling old records. "We're getting records from the Crow's Nest and we're going to upcycle them into something that's functional." The workshop aimed to inspire children to upcycle, from moulding records into pots for succulents or cutting them out and covering them with a mosaic to make a centrepiece. "It's just trying to give them an opportunity to try and upcycle." Mrs Brice said an added bonus for children was being able to use their upcycled record as their entry in the Junk to Funk competition which would be held at the end of next month. She said the secret to manipulating vinyl records into a vase was to put them in the oven at a low temperature. "And then you pull it out and you can work with it. Come to the workshop and find out the right heat and the right times." The Eco Centre is raising funds for the installation of a natural play space behind the centre, and while the $5 workshop entry fee would go towards materials, any money left over would go to the playground. The workshop will be held at the Eco Centre in Redruth, and pre-booking is essential to ensure sufficient materials are provided. "We're getting entries in. Go to the website to find the information." The upcycled records would be on show at the Junk to Funk festival.
