Classes & Workshops
The ReBuilding Center’s reuse workshops are classes that inspire students to transform discarded building materials into new furniture, household objects, art and sculpture. The classes take place in the ReFind Furniture workshop located adjacent to The ReBuilding Center warehouse behind the offices at 3625 N Mississippi Avenue. Here, students have access to a variety of woodworking tools, learning valuable tool and construction skills they can apply to projects at home. Most importantly, students are inspired to find new reuse possibilities in old building materials and are empowered to realize their ideas in unique and creative forms. Workshops are open to adults 18 and older unless otherwise noted.
