Reware Upcycle Craft Market
We’ve all heard of the “three Rs” that have been spread to promote a less-wasteful lifestyle—reuse, reduce, recycle. While this trinity of trash has been seared into mainstream consciousness, consumer culture is still preaching the mantra “BUY BUY BUY! CONSUME MORE MORE MORE!” But the days of trash and disposability are long gone! City Repair introduces the Reware Upcycle Craft Market, a place where the whole community can gather to celebrate and cultivate a post-consumption culture of thrifting, reducing, reusing, recycling and upcycling!
Upcyling is the transformation of products of crippled functionality into products of higher quality and artistic value. Come be a thread in the fabric with which we can design a new paradigm and turn trash into treasures!
Come enjoy an afternoon of skill share, art, music, food & drink! Bring items with high artistic and/or functional potential to be transformed and upcycled. Learn from our artistic crafters how to creatively transform otherwise would-be-wasted materials into stylized crafts.
This event is in the DIY spirit, so any participate can also teach and share to catalyze us into the post-consumer culture!
This event is also zero-waste, so make sure to bike, walk, or transit yourselves over!
Date: Last Sunday of every month (check with reware@cityrepair.org to confirm)
