Minni Wants Your Recycling! ♻️
Sustainability and Up-Cycling are at the core of Minni’s Philosophy
At Minni we pride ourselves on steering clear of plastics, whenever possible, and consciously creating with natural and recycled materials. We often incorporate recycled materials into all our curriculum for our classes, vacation programs, and workshops. We also actively work to partner with like minded artists and brands who incorporate recycled materials or make sustainability efforts within their work.
Now, we’re asking our community to help us continue our sustainability efforts by dropping off your recycled goods at the Minni studio so we might have a surplus of recycled materials to utilize in our classes.
We do not accept all recycled goods, please take a look at what we do accept below. We hope you will consider dropping off your recycled materials at either our South End or Beacon Hill studio!
