Clothing Swap

The core purpose of Second Life Upcycling is to encourage recycling, repurposing, rethinking and reusing. With this in mind, feel free to bring along good quality clothes you would like to swap or give to other workshop attendees. This encourages a circular economy and ensures your clothes go to a good home and are kept out of landfill (hopefully).

Note: Any garments or accessories not taken by other workshop attendees will have to be taken home. I do not offer a recycling service.
