ReClaim It!

I’s been meaning to stop by ReClaim It for a while, I wish I’d gone sooner! I found several really nice plant pots, some garden stands, and hanging baskets. My mom took home a really large outdoor planter and it was such a good deal! There are some random, more raw materials that can creatively used for other purposes (metal brackets, tubes, windows) and they have items made from these materials for sale and on display.
I’ll definitely be adding this to my rotation of antique and thrift stores that I visit regularly.

We discard material goods because in our minds they are bad, worn, out of style.
Cracked Pots collects those and reuses them in community art projects. The Reclaim It is their second hand junk store for the public looking for things you would find in thrift stores or «antique» stores.
The material is well organized. It is not as school and art supplies oriented as Scrap, and although it has building materials, the Rebuilding Center is better for that. Still we hope it will grow into what the Bay Area has for artists looking for unusual components.
Prices are middle, not antique shop high or garage sale low.
When I visited, they had piano keys, windows, counter, flooring, carpet samples, old golf clubs and a sled, furniture, chains, door hardware.
Cracked Pots organizes two art shows of art from reused materials: a show at Edgefield, and the Glean show, last at Disjecta. Information on those on their website. Certainly 5 stars for their programs.
They have very limited weekend-​type hours. Check their website.
