Stop by my tent, sponsored by Madewell Granola, to make some up-cycled fabric earrings or a bookmark! Both make great gifts for Mother's Day :)
Our first junky jamboree of 2025 celebrates MOTHERS of all kinds: Moms of humans, Mother of our Earth, and all the motha-junkers making the world a more joyful place.🌎
Join us for the one + only fully CIRCULAR handmade market! What does that mean? Not only can you shop for upcycled one-of-a-kind goods, you can also drop off household supplies to the artisans for their future creative projects.
We're partnering with @reducewastechicago again for their Reuse & Recycling Pop-Up. In addition to materials for makers, you can bring 40 other different types of unwanted items for reuse, redistribution, repurposing, reclamation and recycling.

If you love our Trashy Markets, please consider contributing some dollars when you RSVP so we can continue to produce these events while keeping it affordable for our uber creative artisans who contribute to a thriving culture and local economy.

Your instructor, Jessica, will provide all materials including a second-hand frame, backing paper, cordless glue gun & huge array or trinkets collected from people around the entire country. Also feel free to bring your own items to either add to your own display or drop in one of the boxes for future knollers to enjoy.
Class runs 2 hours and is recommended for ages 6+ (an adult must assist children under 12 with using their glue guns).
