Workshops
Creative Reuse Education
We at Thistle believe that education is central to how we fulfill our mission of inspiring sustainable creativity and living. Whether we are educating in our shop by selling pre-loved materials or more directly through upcycling and creative reuse workshops and events - we know that an informed and educated citizenry will get creative, sustainably.
Reduce. Reuse. Raise hell.
