This spring, we’re elevating our signature Bottle Blossom workshop for the very first time!

In this open studio format, we’ll provide the basic instruction needed to make your own upcycled bouquet or centerpiece before letting you run wild with the materials and tools available in our workshop room. Make your own blooms from start to finish, or add some design to our pre-painted parts. Then, rethink what you’ve ever known about bouquets as you upcycle floral filler and foliage from our unconventional materials. Leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that will bloom for eternity!

And, because we want you to have everything you need to make your vision come to life, you’ll also receive a $5 voucher that you can take downstairs to our shop to grab any additional items you might need to complete your creation.

Come on your own and make some new crafty pals, or gather your group for some creative together-time. There is no artistic experience needed at our open studio workshops: you’re welcome to keep it simple or go all out! It’s all about the magic of reimagining materials, and we can’t wait to share the fun with you.

This workshop is intended for adults and adolescents accompanied by a grownup. Looking for a kids’ workshop? We're also offering a kids' Bottle Blossom workshop on May 9! Click here for more info and tickets.

*Please note that our upstairs workshop space is accessible via stairs only.

FAQs

This is my first time hearing about Upcycle Parts Shop. What's the deal?

We are a non-profit creative reuse center located in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood of Cleveland. In our retail storefront we sell low-cost craft supplies and upcycleable treasures, all generously donated to us by individuals and corporations in our community. Since opening in 2014, we have diverted over 30 tons of usable material from the landfill! Whether or not you can make our workshop, we'd love to see you in our shop during our weekly retail hours. We are open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays from 2-6 PM and Saturdays from 10-4 PM. Please visit our website for more information about our shop, mission, and donation guidelines: www.upcyclepartsshop.org

What can I expect when I arrive?

Come through our shop door located under the blue awning. We'll then head upstairs to our workshop space. There will also be time to visit our shop if you'd like to purchase any creative materials and upcycle parts. In addition to your $5 voucher, you'll receive 10% off any in-shop purchases as a thank you for attending (valid on 3/21 only).

What refreshments can I expect?

We'll have coffee, water, and cookies. Please feel free to bring your BYOB and snacks, too! We have plates, utensils, and glasses so no need to bring those.

Where should I park?

There is street parking available in front of our shop on St. Clair Avenue as well as on Addison. You may also park in the Slovenian National Home parking lot behind the building which is accessible from Addison or E. 64th.
