Find Your Art Supplies a New Home at Common Room's 1-Day Market

(SPOT.ph) We've all been there: we pick up a hobby, only to lose interest and drop it after a while. Life gets in the way, or maybe we simply discover that it's not for us. This usually leaves us with a pile of arts and crafts supplies gathering dust in storage. You may not have the heart to throw them away, always thinking of the possibility of picking up the hobby again someday.

Now, It's time to give your old tools new life through arts and crafts brand Common Room's upcoming Common Re-Store, a recover and reclaim market. Here, you can either sell your old materials or buy treasures from other artists.

Buy or sell secondhand arts and crafts supplies at Common Room's Re-Store event 

This one-day pop-up event lets artists sell their unused or gently used supplies, giving them new homes with fellow makers or newbies to the craft. It's perfect for anyone decluttering for the new year. Instead of throwing out materials you're no longer using, they can find new purpose and a fresh start in the hands of others. 

According to Common Room, Re-Store is more than just clearing out. "It's a chance to let go with intention, and make space for fresh starts," the brand said in their post.

Currently, Common Room is looking for sellers. So if you have lots of supplies that you're no longer using, you can fill out a form online to sell them at a table for a fee of just P800. You can sell secondhand tools, barely used supplies and materials, craft books, kits, or any other art-related items, as long as they are in good condition. Table slots are limited.

There is no entry fee for buyers who may want to drop by the market on January 26. However, you may end up shelling out some money to buy affordable tools for the new creative pursuits you want to start this new year. We know you have a few you might want to dabble in, be it journaling, knitting, crocheting, et cetera. 

In a conversation with SPOT.ph, Common Room said that they will announce if there will be a second run (just in case you aren't free to drop by on January 26). 

Common Room is a haven for arts and crafts enthusiasts, offering a wide selection of supplies from over 200+ local crafters and brands. It opened its doors in 2015 and also hosts art sessions and classes. Visit Common Room stores in Power Plant Mall, UP Town Center, Alabang Town Center, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay. 

When and where will the Common Re-Store event be held?

The Common Re-Store will happen on January 26 only, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Mess Studio, Common Room located on the ground floor, The Atrium of Makati, Makati Avenue, Makati. You can check out their Instagram page for more details.
