I herd a rumor once of a thrift store in Berkeley filled with art supplies but I new nothing more until Sunday when I brought the unsellables from Saturday’s garage sale to The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse for donation. The name says it all and it’s the perfect place to donate art supplies you no longer need and other random items a regular thrift store might see as trash. It’s also a great resource for artists and teachers looking for supplies and inspiration. The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse is a haven for artists who love working with found objects. They have everything from fabric to vintage signage, crayons to egg cartons, maps to film slides, etc, etc.
This place is worth checkin out if you haven’t already. And a perfect place to donate your random collections of: “I was saving these because I was going to make a ___________ but never did.” No really, there is a place for these items and there are folks who WILL make something out of them. K
