making art from discarded materials: something for you too?

Get inspired by impact makers around the world

The people at Ocean Sole collect discarded flip-flops from the ocean and from nature. They use them to make beautiful, colourful works of art. This keeps nature clean, gives old flip-flops a second life and gives creative people new opportunities through a great job at Ocean Sole.
