Student Upcycle Fridays

Drop in 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. @ the Upcycyle space in Surplus & Recycling. Every Friday when class is in session in the Upcycle space. Free. All students welcome, no experience needed! 

From tossed to found -- turn discards into DIYs! Learn new skills and find surprising possibilities in everyday things with creative reuse arts & crafts. Make the project of the week, start a junk journal, or choose your own crafty adventure.

Upcycle Friday is a low-pressure creative outlet where you can unplug, meet new people, enjoy some music, and spark inspiration. See upcoming projects and event recaps @spartanupcycle. Find out more here!

Student Upcycle Collective Meetups & junk journaling

Welcome meetups: Thurs. 9/10 and 9/17. More dates TBA!

2 - 3:30 p.m. @ the Upcycle space in Surplus & Recycling

Create, connect, and contribute -- bring your ideas and leave your mark on Spartan Upcycle. What creative reuse endeavor do you want to bring to life? Maybe you want to lead a workshop? Organize an art show? Start a zine? Or maybe you're happy to support another idea. Let's talk about it all at the Collective meetups then hatch a plan for what's next.

WELCOME MEETUPS: start a junk journal, hear what the Collective did last spring, brainstorm possible projects, events, etc.

All students are welcome to participate! Membership is optional -- come when you can and get involved on your terms. There will also be opportunities to help with existing Spartan Upcycle events and behind-the-scenes work.
