Join us for a hands-on, creative workshop that blends ocean conservation, craftsmanship, and digital storytelling. In this unique two-hour Wonder Lab, you’ll transform reclaimed lobster rope—often lost or discarded as “ghost gear”—into a sturdy and colourful doormat. As you weave, you’ll explore the environmental impact of ocean waste and craft a short video reel for social media sharing.
