DONATIONS ARE

CLOSED

We're currently making some changes to our studio AND our donations guidelines. We've made the difficult decision to pause donations while we sort out what we have and determine what we can use.

In the meantime, please send us an email if you have questions, or sign up for our newsletter and be the first to know when our donations program is back up and running!

Donations Guidelines

Interested in participating in the circular economy? Your generous donations foster learning and creativity while keeping waste out of the landfill. Our makers use the things you no longer need to strengthen their creative muscles through tinkering, building, crafting, and more.

While we would love nothing more than to collect and repurpose every second-hand item and bit of recycling, unfortunate constraints like time and space mean we need to set some specific limits. Please be sure to read the guidelines below before you bring donations to our space.
