Materials for your next project
We work hard to divert quality creative materials from landfill, and to provide environmentally-responsible alternatives to mainstream art & craft supplies.
When our customers choose discarded & second-hand materials over new, they don’t just save money, they help to reduce waste and protect our environment from the cost of manufacturing new.
Available in-store at our Woolloongabba Warehouse or by post, shop creative reuse materials today.
Eco-Art Workshops
We believe creativity is a key ingredient to sustainability.
Our workshops encourage thinking about the things we use and throw away, the impact that has on our environment, and alternative ways to put those things to good use. We can tailor them for specific curriculum/learning outcomes too!
By thinking outside of the box, we can make better use of the “waste” we already have, and have fun while we’re at it!
Reverse Emporium
South East Queensland is home to some fantastically talented artisans that work with salvaged materials to create stunning art, jewellery, homewares and more.
Our 'Reverse Emporium' gift shop gives these makers a carefully curated retail outlet to sell their creations, and a hub to inspire others to creatively reuse.
Every handcrafted piece contains at least 75% reclaimed materials, celebrating both creativity and conscious consumption.
