Explore how discarded materials can be transformed through art. Don’t forget to bring something to repair! The Repair Cafe will have stations ready to help fix everything from clothing and bikes to dull knives and wobbly furniture! 🌊 @groupfortheeastend @northforkenviro @peconic.baykeeper @rewildlongislandnorthfork @peconic_estuary @townofsouthold #UpSculpt #RepairCafe #EnvironmentalExpo #OceanPlastic #SustainableLiving

What we discard doesn’t disappear, it becomes part of a much bigger story. 🌊🌎 This Earth Day, we’re honored to be featured in @forbes with @cindypeaseroe for transforming ocean plastic into art that sparks conversation, connection, and change. Article link in bio. 💚 Each piece begins with ocean debris and ends with a message: protect what protects us. In April we’re continuing the work of reclaiming, rethinking, and reshaping waste into something meaningful. ✏️ by @joshurvell @parrishartmuseum @nofoartcollective @upsculpt @cshwhalingmuseum #EarthDay #UpSculpt #OceanConservation #SustainableArt #PlasticPollution

Semana passada tivemos uma Live Session muito especial em parceria com @bri.sandr da @upsculpt , trazendo reflexões importantes sobre o impacto do plástico e dos microplásticos nos oceanos, um tema que afeta diretamente o futuro do nosso planeta. Durante o encontro, alunos do SESI de Caçapava tiveram a oportunidade de assistir, aprender e se inspirar com ideias que conectam sustentabilidade, criatividade e impacto social. A Team Leader Karina compartilhou como vivênciar o Changemaker tem sido transformador para os estudantes, ampliando conhecimento, vocabulário e consciência sobre os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). 🌎 Porque cuidar do oceano é cuidar do nosso futuro. 1, 2, 3… Let's go Changemakers! #changemaker #gamingexperience #livesession #upsculpt

Spring on the U.S. East Coast means warmer waters, migrating wildlife, and unfortunately a surge of plastic washing from streets and rivers into the ocean after seasonal rains. 🌊 Our family of baby hammerheads are sculpted by @cindypeaseroe using 100% marine plastic: shopping bags, sandbags, rope, straws, and miscellaneous pieces. All once floating where real sharks swim. Check out our website & learn about how UpSculpt engages in action against ocean plastic pollution using art science and education.

We’re delighted to invite you to participate in the community weaving project, now on view at the Parrish Art Museum. Using 100% reclaimed marine plastics, I welcome you to slow down, work with your hands, and contribute to a collaborative work that reflects both creativity and environmental stewardship. 🌊 @upsculpt @cindypeaseroe @parrishartmuseum Each woven element will become part of a future installation. This project is an evolving testament to the power of community and eco-conscious creativity. On view through June 14.

Valentine’s Day, but make it plastic-free 💐 These vases were made in the UpSculpt studio from recycled glass + reclaimed marine rope, then filled with flowers by @bantamblooms . Instead of buying new this year, try it at home: reuse glass jars or bottles, wrap with scrap rope, fabric, or twine, and turn what you already have into something beautiful! Plastic-free Valentine’s tip: skip cellophane wrap, glitter, and plastic cards! Choose loose flowers, recycled paper, handwritten notes, or experiences. Small choices add up, and love looks better when it leaves a lighter footprint. 🌊❤️ #UpSculpt #PlasticFreeValentines #ValentinesDay #RecycledArt #MarineDebris
