EXPLORE + REUSE + CREATE

View how UpCycle inspires our community to explore and create with reusable materials!
​
UpCycle Creative Reuse Center is an Alexandria, Virginia based non-profit that connects creativity and conservation by providing a resource center for reuse materials and a creative making space for the community. At UpCycle, we rethink the traditional notion of waste by collecting cast-offs from our community to serve as creative materials.

Where's Tinker Time?

​​TINKER TIME is on a brief hiatus and will return soon - better than ever! Join our mailing list to be the first to know when we reopen Tinker Time.

If you know UpCycle, you know Tinker Time, our signature program to inspire playfulness and creative expression in all ages, and you may be wondering where it is on our schedule. Currently, we have placed Tinker Time on a short hiatus as we transition staffing and rethink our space to allow more people to freely explore and create. 

What is Tinker Time?
​
In this open exploration, you can access our unique collection of materials for inspiration and use as you create something of your own. We have an amazing selection of reuse materials and  mark-making supplies, along with scissors, glue, and more. Tinker Time is an unstructured time without a specific project, open to all ages. (An adult must accompany children ages 12 and younger. )
