The themes that will take center stage this week are: Clothing and personal care products, Repairing/upcycling stuff, packaging free, the sharing economy, litter, food and waste streams.
Location de Ceuvel
We are also participating and we are extremely happy about it! ‘Zero Waste Week’ brings a number of activities to the Ceuvel such as a clothing swap, a repair cafe, a visual mending workshop, a movie night and a performance. Café de Ceuvel’s existing vegan menu is already completely focused on the most sustainable ingredients possible, and a band will be playing. In short, a super fun day!

Bronwen Jones is an artist and textile repairer. She is from London and currently lives in Amsterdam. In her practice she is interested in the relationship between bodies and textiles – the stories they contain and the traces they leave in each other, and in the transmission of craft textile knowledge over time. In recent years, she has focused on restoring clothing for/with the public as a community-based practice that initiates the sharing of stories and conversations about care, intimacy, value and ownership. Her work is reflected in these interactions and in the resulting textile pieces, publications and workshops.

Guided tours at the Ceuvel
Start : 14:00 en om 16:00
At the Ceuvel we organize private tours for interested individuals, schools, companies and others. Whether you are an architect, technical engineer, student or generally interested in sustainability: there is someone walking around the Ceuvel who can tell our story in a way that is relevant to your background. De Ceuvel is a self-built incubator where sustainability and the circular economy are central. It is an urban planning experiment in urban renewal, a creative and cultural incubator, a circular test lab, and a place to relax and be inspired. There is a smart-grid of solar panels where power can be exchanged between them using blockchain technology, an aquaponics vegetable greenhouse, 16 boats converted into creative workspaces on dry land, and a cozy café-restaurant that is invariably named “the most sustainable restaurant in Europe. Meanwhile, the heavily polluted soil that everything is built on is being cleaned through a special mix of purifying plants that absorb the heavy metals and oils from the old shipyard.

Workshop Sheep Friendly Felting at De Ceuvel
10:00 – 17:30 | Oliebibliotheek & het Plein op De Ceuvel
Kosten: €85,- p.p.
Aantal deelnemers: minimaal 4, maximaal 8
Did you know that every year more than 1.5 million kilos of Dutch sheared wool is thrown away? And yet it is an incredibly beautiful material: naturally insulating, water-repellent, soft and very easy to work with…
One of the oldest ways to make something out of it is to felt it. If you do that with a completely shorn fleece, you can even felt it into a sheepskin, without having to kill a sheep to do it.
You will learn from ancient craft how a shorn, long-haired fleece is cleaned, worked, reshaped and then felted into a sturdy sheepskin.
Wonderful to do – wool is quite a material to work with.
Besides, the result is great for the winter on the couch, on the floor by your feet or in your camping chair during colder evenings….
Everyone works on their own small coat (size Ikea coat) that they take home at the end.
The coats come from a Drenthe farm with brown sheep and were literally rescued from the dustbin. Anke works with respect for nature and as sustainable as possible in the process.
Note: it is a physically quite intensive workshop – felting is hard work

‘Dreamy folklorian beauty” Live looping, foley art, magic of vegetal music.
Electric violin at its core, a moment to stop and breathe, this is music for the soul and food for the mind. Sophie Kingston has spent the past few years writing, recording and performing, throughout Australia and Europe. The music is as tangible as the story behind it.
