This is in an effort to make creative materials more accessible; to keep useable art supplies out of the landfill and giving them a second life. It really is a melting pot of all different craft supplies in there!
The revenue from this shop goes back to The Chattery and continues to fund affordable and accessible art experiences for adults.
