Our friendly instructor will guide you in choosing, preparing and painting your chosen pieces of driftwood.

Various pieces of driftwood will be available, of different sizes and lengths. You will be able to choose 2 or 3 pieces for decoration. (If you have found any nice pieces of driftwood you think would be suitable for use – then bring them along.)

All materials needed to prepare and upcycle the driftwood will be provided and you get to go home with your very own art pieces.

The Brighton Community Workshop Project (BCWP) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company CIC based in the heart of Kemptown. We provide a community workshop and tool library, run by volunteers, for our community members. ​ The Maker Space is our place to make, learn, share and repair.

Our workshops and classes are part of our Skills Forge where people can learn and share new techniques and skills, build knowledge and inspire them to do it for themselves – reuse, repurpose, make do and mend, repair or upcycle, all whilst reducing waste and saving money.
