Just Like New: Having a Confab About All Things Vintage, Retro & Upcycling

There is a movement to repurpose, re-use, and transform the old and once forgotten. What we discard can be reimagined into new and beautiful forms.  

There is a fondness, a nostalgia for eras gone by and seems to resurface from generation to generation. This sentimentality appears to be a uniquely human.  Perhaps it reminds us of our own impermanence or comforts us as we age.

Join us as we chat about the love of period costume, upcycling fashion and breathing fresh life into old technology through art.

Let's revamp our old way of thinking, and discover a new mantra: In with the old, and out with the new.
