Repurposing at ArcWorks Community Art Center!

Repurposing seems to be everywhere these days, just check out the plethora of blog tutorials, Pinterest groups, and now here at ArcWorks Community Art Center.  

Just what is repurposing you ask?  Well, Wiktionary defines it as: 

repurpose verb.

1. To reuse for a different purpose, on a long-term basis, without alteration.

The town common was repurposed as a practice field.

1. To alter to make more suited for a different purpose.

The church was repurposed as a nightclub by lighting changes and removing the pews, but it never opened.

We all have tons of magazine just sitting around (well, unless you are an avid recycler!) that we want to do something with, but never know how.  Well, we have the perfect workshop for you!  Here is the info:
