THE Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine has launched a series of free 'trashion' workshops.
The workshops are based on the museum's exhibition of the same name, which is made up of 'fashion art' created using rubbish.
The aim of the exhibition is to make people think about how our personal choices affect marine pollution.
The workshops, which are suitable for those aged six and above, will take place every Wednesday from July 9 to August 6 and will allow participants to create hats, fascinators, or other accessories from recyclables.
At the end of the workshop series, on Wednesday, August 13, the community group and museum will host a 'trashion show' to showcase all the creations.
Places can be reserved on the museum’s website at www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org.
Jennifer Pless, community engagement and development officer at the Scottish Maritime Museum, said: "The trashion workshops are a great opportunity to have some fun, fire your creativity, and help raise awareness of marine pollution and the harm it is doing to our planet.
"The workshops are free to attend, and all materials are provided, but places are limited and must be booked in advance, so we recommend reserving a place as soon as possible."
The trashion workshops are supported by Museums Galleries Scotland, Keep Scotland Beautiful, and their Our Heritage, Our Future programme.
As well as the trashion exhibition, which runs until August 3, the museum is also home to the Beneath the Waves exhibition, which features award-winning underwater photography, marine sketches, and rare Glasgow pottery recovered from a shipwreck off Arran last year.
