Future Tenant is teaming up with Habitat
for Humanity’s ReStore to present The
Upcycle Make and Take, a workshop for creating original holiday ornaments
out of recycled materials.
Future Tenant is
celebrating the possibilities of creating beautiful art while also being kind
to the earth. Surrounded by the
repurposed artwork of Tree Pittsburgh’s Arbor Aid exhibit, The Upcycle Make and Take event allows you to channel your own
inner artist! Guests will be able to get creative and do their own upcycling by
using a variety of recycled materials to create holiday ornaments.
Materials for this
event were generously donated by Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore.
According to their mission, “The
Habitat for Humanity ReStore sells reusable house building and home improvement
materials to the public…All proceeds from the sale of donations help place
families in affordable shelter in the Greater Pittsburgh area. The ReStore
provides an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good, reusable
materials out of the waste stream while providing funding for Habitat’s
community improvement work.”
