About this Event

This event is in partnership with Second Sun Studio
Second Sun Studio is a Reno-based creative studio led by artist Danielle Warren, where textiles and everyday materials are transformed into unique works of art. Through hands-on workshops, Second Sun Studio inspires people to explore their creativity, connect with others, and give new life to materials through imaginative textile art.

In this hands-on workshop with Danielle, you will transform upcycled fabrics and yarns into unique chandeliers—perfect as closet décor or a creative light fixture. Tools and supplies will be provided but if you want to bring your own embellishments like lace, ribbon, or other details to their project, you are free to do so. Come weave, create, and give leftover materials a beautiful second life!


Give your wardrobe new life while keeping fashion fun, fresh, and sustainable! All shapes, genders and sizes are welcome!


What to Bring

We’re creating a curated shopping experience, so please bring pieces that reflect quality, style, and are in excellent condition, gently used items you would gift a friend.


Especially Desired:

• Gently worn clothing

• Unique one of a kind pieces

• Gently used or new bras and menstrual support product donations for i Support the Girls Non Profit

• All shapes and genders welcome

• Maximum of 10 items per person


Every item should be freshly cleaned, free of stains, odors, tears, missing buttons, or needed repairs.


Bring a bag!

Clothing tip: wear form fitting tank tops or shorts underneath to lessen exposure when trying on clothes. (Optional)


Please leave these at home

To keep the swap curated, we kindly ask that you do not bring:

• Heavily worn items

• Clothing with stains, holes, pilling, or damage

• Items better suited for donation

• Undergarments, swimwear, shoes, or socks

• Costume jewelry or heavily worn accessories


Our goal is quality over quantity—think boutique closet rather than donation bin.

(If you are a non-profit or artist interested in these materials, please contact [email protected] to get looped in our conscious consumerism circle)


How it works:

Purchase a ticket and swap 1 item for 1 item or join the Swap Society and swap till you drop with the "shopping pass". Members unlock unlimited swapping at all locations, and other perks! Members do not need to purchase a ticket. Show your active members status at check in and don't forget to bring your complimentary guest!


Leftover items are either saved for the next swap or donated to artists to upcycle and various non-profts in the Reno area including:

Safe Embrace

St. Vincents


143 pounds have been donated to Safe Embrace, St. Vincents, and artists to upcycle thanks to the Reno swap community! This extends the life of garments, keeping them out of the landfill and helps those in need.
