Workshops at Ecoship

Workshops take place at the EcoShip store and are led by independent organizers from our community. These are often small businesses or partners who already work with EcoShip through donating or sourcing materials.

While EcoShip provides the space and shares in ticket revenue, each workshop is run by its organizer. These events create opportunities for our partners to host and teach, while introducing new audiences to EcoShip and our mission.

Upcoming Workshops - We are taking a small break this summer. More workshops will be available in the fall!
