What happens when shoreline plastics meet a sculptor's imagination? UpSculpt founder Bri Sander will show you at this hands-on workshop at the Vanderbilt Museum. Participants will transform real marine debris collected from Long Island beaches into miniature sea creature sculptures — a creative, tactile way to learn about ocean conservation.

UpSculpt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to upcycling marine debris into art. This workshop is perfect for adults and kids ages 5 and up who want to get their hands dirty (in the best way) while doing something meaningful for the environment.
