Crafting is a simple, fun and therapeutic way to bring people together. An experience to remember!
At Örreke, we value reuse and give preference to materials that are local or fair trade.
Eco-life workshops
In our eco-living workshops, we use natural ingredients and plants grown in our own garden or in Estonian forests. In the workshops, we focus on reuse and a packaging-free lifestyle. No preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or artificial colors are added to our products. In the Eco-Living workshops, we make our own cosmetics, household cleaning products, honeycomb fabric, and eco-friendly, reusable Christmas or greeting cards. The Eco-Living workshops are Örrekese’s contribution to a cleaner living environment.
Frequently asked questions
In the eco-life workshops we give old things a new life and make eco-friendly alternatives to shop-bought products. For example, we make beeswax wraps, home cleaning products, fire starters, paper from old newspapers, eggshell art and tiered serving stands from old porcelain.
Yes. In the eggshell art workshop, for example, we talk about biowaste, composting and the circular economy. It works well as a practical lesson, an outdoor lesson or a day camp activity. The beeswax wrap workshop is also part of the educational programme of the Lähme Nulli! (Let’s Go Zero!) exhibition.
Yes, to several workshops. You can bring porcelain from home for a tiered serving stand, your own porcelain shards for shard jewellery and unused CDs for the CD decorating workshop. If you have nothing to bring, we provide the materials.
Lähme Nulli! (Let’s Go Zero!) is a travelling exhibition about single-use products and their long-lasting alternatives. The guided tour takes 60 minutes, and you can add a 45-minute zero-waste workshop. The tour and the workshop are paid, and the price depends on the size of the group.
