Creative Reuse for All!
Perennial is a non-profit organization in St. Louis where you can take classes to learn creative ways to reuse materials. By reducing waste and crafting with salvaged materials our community diverts more than 20,000 pounds from the landfill each year! Join us in our reuse studio where you can try classes in woodworking, stained glass, mosaics, sewing, dyes, bookbinding and more. Looking for materials? Our retail shop, full of salvaged supplies, is open to the public Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Memberships + donations help us keep programs accessible, build partnerships, and foster a circular economy in St. Louis.
Join our mission or take a class to help build a creative culture of sustainability in St. Louis and beyond.
