UpCycle's COMMUNITY impactUpCycle Creative Reuse Center is an Alexandria, Virginia based nonprofit 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. |
Upcoming: Family Re-creation class: UpCycled Cornucopias
Sign up today for the next installment of our Family RE-Creation classes: Upcycled Cornucopias!
We will use post-consumer materials to create a cornucopia centerpiece that is sure to be a conversation starter this holiday season!
Families will work together to create a cornucopia and then fill it to the brim with their favorite foods - all out of reuse materials! Join us on Sunday, November 17th from 5-6:30 pm.
