From noon to 4:30 p.m. April 15, you can turn trash into treasures at ReMake! An Earth Month Celebration at the Center for Creativity Workshop on the ground floor of the University Store on Fifth. Drop by for demonstrations on giving new creative life to old corks, bottle caps, scraps of fabric, and other odds and ends that might otherwise end up in a landfill and then try your hand at re-making art.
