DIY Travel Chess Set Workshop with Perennial

Our friends from Perennial will be here to help you transform common items such as old corks, denim, and t-shirts into a one-of-a-kind travel chess set! Enjoy complimentary and furnished materials, mix and mingle with friends, and leave with your custom creation!
Perennial is a non-profit organization in St. Louis where you can take classes to learn creative ways to reuse materials. By reducing waste and crafting with salvaged materials, our community diverts more than 10,000 pounds from landfills each year! Join us in our reuse studio, where you can try classes in woodworking, stained glass, mosaics, sewing, dyes, bookbinding, and more. If you’re looking for secondhand materials to get creative with, our shop is open to the public on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
- *20% discount for WCHOF members, students, seniors, and military personnel
