Are you ready to unleash your creativity and learn how to turn residual materials into a beautiful plant pot? Join Mees and Harvey of Generatie Groen for a three-hour workshop and discover the art of upcycling.
In this session, you will learn about their innovative approach to upcycling and the importance of using existing materials to make our way of life greener.
Mees and Harvey will guide you through the process of creating your own unique plant pot, shelf or decoration step by step, from selecting the residual material to the final touches. You will then learn various techniques such as sanding, cutting, and sawing to craft a one-of-a-kind plant pot.
All materials required for the project will be provided during the workshop. So, all you need to bring is your eagerness to learn and your commitment to sustainability. At the end of the workshop, you will leave with your very own upcycled plant pot made out of wood, a unique creation that reflects your creativity and dedication to a greener world.

Welcome to the world of Generatie Groen, the design and fabrication studio founded by two friends, Harvey Hendriks and Mees van de Nes. These two young minds met during their studies in Industrial Product Design in Amsterdam and have since become inseparable. They share a common interest in making a positive impact on the environment and view the world through a critical eye.
Generatie Groen believes that there is a lot that can be done to change the way we treat our planet. We live in a society that is obsessed with consumerism, always seeking more and new things. But, is this really necessary? Harvey and Mees believe that countless innovative solutions can make our way of life greener.
Their mission is to bring these solutions to light, hence the name, Generatie Groen. One of the innovative solutions they employ is the use of existing materials. They use waste and residual streams to create new products, which not only reduces waste but also minimises the need for new materials.
At Generatie Groen, they live by their values and stand by what they believe in. They stand for a greener world, and they are doing their part to make it happen. Their dedication to sustainability has earned them a spot at Treehouse NDSM, an arts incubator located in Amsterdam's creative heart.
So, if you're looking for a design studio that is committed to creating sustainable products, look no further than Generatie Groen. Join the green revolution today!
