Client/employer: Concordia University’s Centre for Creative Reuse (CUCCR)

Overview

In late summer 2020, faculty and staff from the Sculpture department at Concordia University reached out to see if we had an extra tools at CUCCR. They were seeing a difference in projects where students had access to tools at home and those that didn’t. It just so happens that we did have some tools as part of a tool library we wanted to open before the pandemic hit. In the weeks leading up to the Fall 2020 semester, I upcycled old vinyl banner and scrap wood into tool bags that got lent out to students.
