Local Artist Looking for Unwanted Art Supplies, Collections & Interesting Materi (Tucson)
QR Code Link to This Post
I'm especially interested in things left behind from old hobbies, studios, workshops, estates, or collections that someone simply doesn't know what to do with anymore.
Things I'm interested in include:
Art & craft materials — unfinished projects, abandoned artwork, ceramic/glass pieces, mosaic supplies, printmaking materials, handmade paper, old paints/supplies, sculpture pieces, etc.
Natural materials — interesting wood, bark, seed pods, shells, stones/minerals, and lawful bone, antler, hide/leather or similar materials.
Old collections & tiny treasures — rocks/minerals, beads, broken jewelry, buttons, charms, hardware, keys, tiny bottles/tins, figurines, old mechanical pieces and miscellaneous collections.
Paper & vintage materials — old photographs, postcards, maps, letters, sheet music, botanical/scientific illustrations, manuals, playing cards, interesting packaging and paper ephemera.
Weird stuff! — old instrument parts, doll/mannequin pieces, optical/scientific objects, printing blocks, rubber stamps, antique hardware, rusty/weathered metal, costume or theater remnants, and strange little objects you're not sure anyone would want.
I'm especially interested in leftover or imperfect material that isn't valuable enough to sell individually but feels too interesting to throw away.
If you're clearing an estate, garage, studio, workshop, craft room or an old collection, feel free to send me a few photos of what you have. I can pick up in the Tucson area.
I'm not a junk-removal service and unfortunately can't take everything, but I'm happy to look through photos and let you know what I could use.
I'd love to keep interesting materials out of the landfill and put them back into the hands of artists. Thanks!
