For these past years, The Hive has conducted many workshops including the beeswax wrap making workshop to engage with the community and at the same time, introducing zero-waste to the newcomers.
We have conducted few series of beeswax wrap making workshop at various locations. The participants are coming from different states in Malaysia but mostly locals from Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Through this beeswax wrap making workshop, the participants are able to experience the following subjects:
- Prepare the beeswax recipe
- How to choose the right fabric and prepare it
- How to use and wash your beeswax
For those who didn't know, beeswax food wraps are a natural reusable alternative to plastic such as cling film, zip lock bags and containers. By using beeswax wraps you can eliminate the amount of plastic you throw away and your exposure to the toxins found in plastics. Wrap sandwiches, snacks and other lunch items, cover bowls and plates. You can even fold them into containers!
By participating in the workshop, you will also learn how to choose your fabrics and prepare them, then you will learn how to prepare the beeswax recipe and apply it to your fabric. You should go home with around 4 wraps and the knowledge to make more.
