What is Plarning?

Plarning is the creative recycling of plastic bags, using basic embroidery and knitting skills to make a variety of useful products. This friendly group meet weekly to share skills and ideas. Anyone can learn this easy process and everyone is welcome. Plarning helps reduce the amount of plastic which ends up in landfill or in our oceans. Plarning creations include but are not limited to re-usable shopping and tote bags, dog mats, shower mats, outdoor cushions. Funds raised through the sale of these items support local charities, including Ballarat Soup Bus
