This is a space that opened in late August for events, exhibits showing recycled art, and classes on remaking and reusing materials by the people who offer the Green Zebra coupon book.

Currently Carbon Collective is hosting ‘Copenhagen’ talks, while the creative reuse center Scrap has its latest art decorating the entire space. (Check out Scrap’s site for their own workshops and how to start your own recycled art center wherever you live)

One thing I love about getting out to events is the people I meet.

Check out the handbags on the site too.
