Resource Work Cooperative is committed to promoting creative and practical waste minimisation in our community. We provide a range of educational opportunities for young and old, including Tip Shop tours and Reuse Workshops onsite (at our Education Centre) or we can even come to you at your school, event or centre!
These workshops connect participants of all ages to some of Tasmania's best reuse artists. The community workshops are designed to either be delivered as a walking past, drop-in activity, or more formal set-duration workshop.
The school workshops are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework, start at 90 mins in length and are suitable for delivery within a classroom setting.

Arts Parts is a one stop supply shop brimming with cheap, clean and safe materials suitable for a variety of creative projects including art and craft, fashion and jewellery making, party or event decorations and more!
We are sourcing our Arts Parts direct from Southern Tasmanian manufacturers, diverting them away from landfill. They'll be available for purchase direct from our South Hobart Tip Shop or you can order online via our website and we'll post them to you using Australia Post. By choosing Arts Parts you'll be assured that you're reducing your ecological footprint and contributing to a global waste reduction movement.
If you wish to know more about Arts Parts, please email our Education Coordinator.
resource Education Centre - now open!
We now have a Reuse Education Centre located onsite at the South Hobart Tip Shop. This space is perfect for creative reuse workshops and we're currently using it to deliver a number of waste minimisation projects. If you wish to come to us for a workshop and Tip Shop tour we'd love to have you! Currently the space has difficult access and no disabled toilet, we aim to address this in the future.
PS: Don't forget we LOVE to support community groups with discounted or donated materials, please contact Kylie our Education Coordinator if there's something you need.
If you're an artist, educator, community group or ethical organisation or business and you want to collaborate with us on a future project drop us a line and share your ideas.
