Envision Charlotte & The Innovation Barn has partnered with Goodwill to divert t-shirts from the landfill. Goodwill gets more t-shirts donated to them than they can possibly sell so unfortunately, many of them still end up in the landfill. Goodwill has donated some of these tshirts to Innovation Barn to divert them from the landfill by turning them into new products. T-shirt strips are cut into loops and woven on upcycled wood pallet looms to create sound panels. These sound panels are hung around the Innovation Barn to help with noise and also sold as a fundraiser for the non-profit. Many people have bought them as pet beds, art, rugs, or mediation mats!

PLEASE NOTE: Space is limited, and we expect to fill up quickly so please only register if you actually plan to attend. If things change and later you find that you will not be able to attend, please cancel your reservation so we can open the spot up for someone on the waiting list.
