We know that "one person's trash is another person's treasure," but what happens when the things we see as "treasure" are treated like "trash." Cutting up old quilt to make a quilted coat, painting wood furniture, drilling holes in vintage pyrex... When is it ok to repurpose something and when should it be saved for "posterity?" How do we honor our collective creative history and our own aesthetic preferences? We have a LOT to say about it all.

A silly studio disagreement about the color of a skein of embroidery thread led to a full blow conversation about false dichotomies. Are things really black and white? Is it helpful or harmful to categorize things with binary thinking? How do we embrace the concept of "yes, and?"
