In honor of Earth Month, on Wednesday evening at 6:30 in the ground-floor Dan Patacchia Room at City Hall, Transition Culver City will hold a “Repurposing & Craft Workshop.”
What is repurposing, anyway? It may sound new and trendy.
But since ancient times, folks have been serious about re-using old or broken objects instead of throwing them away.
During the Great Depression and World War II, parents and grandparents of the present generation made trivets from bottlecaps.
They made quilts and rugs out of old rags.
Now, hobbyists and craft websites, such as “Instructables” and the Maker culture, are re-vitalizing repurposing as an art form.
The community is invited to learn creative ways to re-purpose with other local crafters.
