What you'll do
Welcome to the Studio
The day starts with a short intro to our studio and recycling plastics.
Add Your Colours
Pick your vein colours that will be melted into the base colour.
Layer, Marble and Press
Explore layering and marbling techniques, and finally, we’ll press your pieces or hand shape them.
- Melt and reshape waste plastic into new forms.
- Create your own marbled colour effects.
- Make a unique piece to take home.
- Learn how traditional craft methods can work with recycled materials.
- Explore ideas around sustainable design and materials.
- Work in a hands-on, guided studio environment.
- If you take your piece home on the day, it will have a natural edge from pressing or shaping; cutting and sanding can be done later for an additional fee.
- Health and safety guidance will be provided before each process, and support given where needed.
- You won’t be liable for accidental damage unless caused by recklessness or negligence.
- The workshop is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.

Your teacher
We are Louise and Merl, Swedish sisters who have lived in the UK since we were little. We’ve always loved making things, and from a young age were taught to be resourceful, and to love and respect our environment.Louise started experimenting with waste plastic in 2012 whilst at Brighton University, and started her studio in 2015, a year after graduating. She then spent two and a half years refining the processes and working on commissions, culminating in designing and building a large hydraulic press capable of producing sheets of recycled plastic for larger applications of the material.Merl joined in 2017 after a huge tabletop project was undertaken, and with her also having an artistic background, as well as having worked in interiors, it couldn’t have been a better pairing. In early 2018, Weez & Merl was founded.
