757 Creative ReUse Center

It's like habitat for humanity, but for crafting huge selection very well organized into categories. This is such a great idea. I'm not sure why I haven't seen something like it before and I do have craft supplies that I was looking to find a home for. Clearly I have found it Next door they also have a classroom/ you can pay a flat fee and just work on your own projects in there Definitely worth checking out

It's like a thrift store for all your arts and crafts needs. You can come in not looking for anything in particular but I guarantee you'll find something interesting that will get your creative juices flowing to start that new project. I highly recommend this center for those in the creative community to stop here first before going to big box stores. Also I encourage to donate any unwanted materials and resources so that someone else may use for their next idea. Even though the space is small, it doesn't feel cluttered. Items are easily organized and labeled so you're not blindly sifting through to find a certain item. Prices are reasonable and sometimes steals, compared to places like Michaels or maybe Jerry's Artarama.

What a fun and beautiful store! Has so many different crafts to get you started on your next project. There's yarn, paints, string, beads, paper, magazines, and all sort of other small treasures. If you don't have an idea for something when you come in here, you definitely will by the time you leave. Also love the idea of recycling used or unused art supplies.

I am an art teacher and avid crafter. I love shopping here! I have purchased markers and paints for my class as well as fabric and yarn for myself. Many of the items are almost new. I have mask taken a few classes under their tent and enjoyed them. Definitely check out 757 reuse first before spending way more money in new craft supplies. You get to help the earth and your wallet!

I was quite disappointed with my visit to this store. At first I was extremely excited about this creative reuse store, and even inside the store there was lots to look through. I find it so disappointing that they could not keep this simply an art store but instead they are making the focus on pushing an insane agenda. There are quite disturbing signs in the front of the store right at children's eye level (definitely not a coincidence). Will not be spending my money here.

Let me just say, I'm upset that I didn't know there was a such thing as AN ART THRIFT STORE. I was greeted at the door, and the further I walked in, the more excited I became. I'm talking yarns, glue guns, paint, calligraphy pens, clay, buttons, and even clothes to trade in the back. Super cute and super needed. They have art classes for purchase on Eventbrite every week. One employee lady I met in there was just so sweet, it felt good to share excitement about small things with others. They accept donations, trades, and have art class weekly. Lovely.

I can not believe that my husband was treated so poorly by the staff lady. We brought 15 let me repeat 15 boxes 18x18x16 of donations. My husband asked the lady if there was help to unload the boxes. The lady told him yes and extend her arms implying "Use your two hands". My husband could not believe the rudeness and lack of respect she was showing to him. He needed help because he is a disable Veteran with TBI, back, shoulders, knees, hands and balance Issues. He is 67 years old. Did I said that he served this country honorably for 30 years? Yes ma'am I'm speaking to you rude lady.For you to indicate to him to use his two hands is out of this world insensitive.He did not get a receipt for the donations. Thank you again rude lady. He came home and told me that we will NEVER make a donation to this organization. It took more than an hour for him to calm down. It is so sad to have to endure this kind of abuse from an organization that claims a desire to help the community. My word of caution for clients and future donors: Don't ask for help from the staff. You will be told to do it yourself.I recently retired and was cleaning a storage unit that was inundated with craft materials and supplies. I now wonder where the money goes from selling donations from citizens like us. The website states it goes back into the business. Who knows perhaps if someone asks the rude lady where the money go she will respond by sticking her hands in her pockets.Please DONT BE RUDE TO CITIZENS GIVING DONATIONS.757 Creative Reuse Center may you have success and customer service training in the near future.By the way Goodwill, CHKD, Salvation Army,and DAV staff are super helpful and Veteran friendly. Respectfully,

I absolutely love the 757 Reuse Center. I don't know what I would do without this gem of a place! It is basically a thrift store for all of the craft supplies you could ever want- and for a HUGE discounted price. I'm able to leave with a big bag of things for $10. Also, the staff is amazing, so kind, and helpful. I am always greeted with a smile.

These people provide a valuable service. You know what you donate will be used by someone else. Not just being thrown out when you can't use it. Glad they have a place like this in Norfolk.
