Perennial’s mission is to build a creative culture of sustainability where discarded items are transformed into cherished resources. Whether you are a curious beginner or an experienced artist looking to try something new, the Perennial workshop is a welcoming space to explore creativity and dive into sustainability. Teaching skills such as sewing, woodworking, bookbinding, furniture restoration and more explores how reuse can extend the life of materials that might otherwise be headed to the trash. Perennial believes that everyone can make an impact by being creative and resourceful and in addition to providing classes to the public they also partner with local nonprofits to offer free workshops and studio time.
In 2020 Perennial introduced new virtual classes, served 2,683 people, and diverted 7,750 pounds from the landfill. Help Perennial continue to transform objects, communities, and lives this holiday season by making a donation to support sustainability in St. Louis or taking a class to learn a new skill.
