Dumpster Diving 301

Our friends at Apartment Therapy tipped us off to this…

Building Materials Reuse Workshop
Time: Saturday February 19, 2 pm
Cost: $20 (proceeds go to Green Workers Cooperative)
Location: 217 Butler Street, Brooklyn
Register: classes@madagascarinstitute.com

If you’re a designer who’s always done a little salvage on the side and wondered how to incorporate your street scores into your work, this workshop will give you ideas on how. We’ll highlight a range of salvaged construction materials — from windows to wood flooring — and show how they can be used in new designs and remodels. Everyone knows you can make a lamp out of anything, but we’ll look at lots of other stuff: classic doorways, tin ceilings, street barriers, and more. You’ll get unique materials and original designs, and you’ll help make a dent in the amount of construction waste–40 percent!–in local landfills.
