Upsound Instruments invites children to upcycle broken, found, or foraged objects into unique musical instruments. From reinventing classics like guitars and drums to creating entirely new sounds, the workshop sparks creativity and sustainability. Bring old broken instruments or toys to transform into playable upcycled instruments — and take yours home! Led by violinist and sound artist Jacob Plooij, this hands-on experience blends tradition with innovation.
