Reuse, Repurpose, Reclaim It

On Wednesday, December 3rd, the public is invited to McHenry County Green Drinks at Duke’s Alehouse & Kitchen, 110 N. Main St. in Crystal Lake, from 5pm-7pm. Additional parking is available at the train station.

Reuse, Repurpose, Reclaim it!!!

Brent Hollenberg from Reclaimed in Crystal Lake (just a couple doors down from Duke’s) will talk about how they got started “reclaiming” materials and furniture, what they look for, what are the trends,  where they find items, unusual finds and possibly some simple things you can do to “Reuse, Repurpose or Reclaim” your own items. There will be plenty of time to ask questions after.

Jean Hervert will be in the Living Room from 5pm until the presentation with her loom, demonstrating some of her skill with the shuttle and talking about everything woven! Her work is truly inspiring!
