In association with the Michigan Arts Festival hosted by the Arts Initiative, the Lab Swap Shop will be holding creative reuse workshops during regular Thursday hours from October 1 to October 29. These events use surplus lab supplies for art activities, demonstrating the different ways that items can be reused. Workshop activities are as follows:
--- 10/1: Block Printing Lab Coats During Climate Week 2026
--- 10/8: Flask Potion Making
--- 10/15: Flask Vase Painting
--- 10/22: Serological Pipette Pointillism Painting
--- 10/29: Spooky Swap Shop - Any and all crafts!
