If you ride a bicycle, chances are you're going to get a flat tire now and then. It's just a fact of the freewheelin' life in the bike lane. Before you chuck that busted bike tube in the trash, join us to learn how to turn a holey tube into something wholly new -- a rubbery pouch for your phone, keys, art supplies, and such.

We'll start with humble, unwanted bike inner tubes and end the evening with fully customized and useful accessories. Along the way you'll learn tips for working with this material, ideas for embellishing, and plant seeds for future creative reuse projects. Ride on!
