Perennial offers educational programs that teach people how to re-envision waste while giving them the skills they need to creatively turn discarded items into cherished possessions. We divert over 20,000 pounds of waste from the landfill every year.
Perennial is a creative reuse classroom and store in South St. Louis that includes a makers studio, a wood shop, and a treasure trove of salvaged materials. Perennial teaches creative reuse classes such as sewing, woodworking, soldering, and book binding, just to name a few! You might learn how to transform broken glass into a mosaic, fabric scraps into beeswax wraps, food waste into natural dye materials and so much more. Perennial offers these educational programs to the public and partners with area social service agencies to bring creative reuse to all. The shop sells salvaged materials, eco-friendly project supplies and reclaimed materials by Perennial's staff.
