ESK Upcycled Handcraft; diverting waste, creating income streams, supporting localised growth, and c***e

After upcycling from repurposed fabric and materials for 10+ years, I started retailing electrical wire baskets at Coco and Co Hastings in September 2020; using cables sourced from my role as Volunteer Ewaste Coordinator at the Environment Centre Hawkes Bay. There's a real oppurtunity locally to mobilise a volunteer workforce for refashion and fibre art, to capture municipal fabric waste; while or

anising as a production group provides psychosocial benefits, transmits traditional knowledge and techniques, and supports local artisans in start-up who might not otherwise c***ect to markets through mainstream retail spaces.
