Join us for a fun and exciting hour of making upcycled books! If you don't know what upcycled books are, this is the perfect hands-on way to learn about them! We will show you the basics so can get started creating some beautiful pieces of art using simple, re-purposed, and re-used materials such as old books, cereal boxes, paper and fabric scraps, string, twist-ties, paint, glue, and scissors. Each creation w

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials, or otherwise useless products, into new materials, products of better quality, or products of higher environmental value. The goal of upcycling is to prevent wasting potentially useful materials by making use of existing ones. (From Wikipedia)
