Upcycle Alameda

Upcyclers, artists and other makers… got clutter? Mystery pile in the back of the closet? Scary biology experiments taking over the fridge? Let’s make the odious job of dealing with unloved spaces and burgeoning belongings into a fun and gratifying experience of re-imagining, beautifying, and reorganizing in community.

The structure:

• Intro check- in (5-10 min)

• Work sprint (30 min, mics off)

• Progress update (5 min)

• Work sprint

Etc... Until quitting time.

The progress updates are a time for us to support each other, brainstorm on challenges, and celebrate all victories, large and small.

While clearing clutter, we will keep our Upcycler lenses on! Is that unwanted or unused item something you can reuse, re-purpose, transform, make art out of? If not, is it something you can sell, re-gift, donate, freecycle? Let’s come up with the answers together.

It's helpful to arrive on time, but if you join late, just get started on your project, and when we have our next check-in you can join in!

No fee to attend these sessions. If you find them valuable, donations to defray our expenses are appreciated. Please ask your host for more info.

Join the Upcycle Alameda community for some creative upcycling. Social sewists, artists, crafters, and Fix it folks: repair, repurpose, re-create. Now is a great time to finish old projects. You provide the elbow grease; we'll provide the moral support.

Technical details: We will be holding this event with Zoom. The link will be provided when you RSVP.
