Join us for a hands-on, seasonal workshop that blends ocean conservation, craftsmanship, and digital storytelling. In this two-hour Wonder Lab, you’ll transform reclaimed lobster rope—once “ghost gear” lost at sea—into a braided wreath, adding your own choice of colourful rope and seasonal decorations. Alongside your craft, you’ll also create a short video reel for social media that tells the story of your wreath and its deeper meaning.
What to Expect
This workshop is designed for all skill levels—whether you’ve never braided rope before or you love seasonal decorating, you’ll leave with both a beautiful wreath and a digital story to share.
