Sustainable Clothing Swap @ DSSOLVR
2026-07-12 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | DSSOLVR Durham, 630 Rigsbee Ave., Durham, NC, 27701, United States
Sustainable Clothing Swap @ DSSOLVR

Hosted by Circular Triangle (non-profit)

Join us from 2-4 pm on the 2nd Sunday of every month at DSSOLVR’s Downtown Durham Taproom for an all-genders clothing swap!
Plus: Enjoy $2 off Flights, Mimosas, & Bloody Marys all day every Sunday!
2026 Dates: March 8, May 10, July 12, September 13, November 8
Clean out your closets and find a new home for your no-longer-loved items. Bring gently used clothing and swap for something new to you. You are not required to bring an item to participate in the swap (there are always leftovers), so feel free to stop by and grab a few items!
How it works:

You’ll find tables with gently used clothing available to go home with you.
Please help sort any items you bring onto the appropriate tables.
While we’ll take care of donating leftovers, please do shop around to see if there’s something you’d like to take home! Fewer leftovers is less work for our volunteer team.

One of Circular Triangle’s missions is to build strong connections with our communities while reducing textile waste. Through clothing swaps and mending workshops, we work to divert clothing from landfills, extending the life of garments and reducing environmental impact.
Clothing swaps not only keep clothing local but also encourage reuse, repurposing, and regeneration, promoting a circular economy for fashion.
As a society, we produce and purchase far more clothing than we actually use—let’s change the narrative together!

Pints and Pottery: Ceramic Pipes
2026-04-12 18:00 - 20:30
Pints and Pottery: Ceramic Pipes
Date: Sunday, April 12, 2026, 6pm-8:30pm (Please arrive early if you plan to order a beverage before class. Plan to end on time.)
Location: Dssolvr Brewery, 630 Rigsbee Ave, Durham, NC 27701
Enjoy a beverage at Dssolvr Brewery in Durham, NC while you design and sculpt your own smokable ceramic pipes! You will be provided with cream-white clay from which you can make two ceramic pipes in 2 different styles: traditional bowls and chillums.
I will teach you how to apply underglaze decal images to personalize each pipe, or you can carve and stamp designs. A wide variety of designs will be offered such as fungi, plants, and animals, and some are pictured here.
At the end of class, I will take your pipes to my studio to be fired, waxed, clear-glazed, and fired again. They will be dishwasher safe. Your pipes will be available for pick-up at Dssolvr in Durham once they are finished.
***Very important*** Pottery is a bit of science and a lot of physics, and random things happen in the creation process. I will try my absolute best to care for your creation from start to finish, but strange things do happen as slabs dry, such as cracking and warping. I will explain how you can likely prevent them while we are sculpting, but I’m always surprised by what clay will do. By signing up for this class, you accept the fate of the kiln gods, and there are no refunds or replacements for projects that do not survive the process.

Your pipes will be available for pick-up at Dssolvr in Durham once they are finished.

FAQ:
Q: Do I need to know how to work with clay to take this class?
A: No – you do not need to have any knowledge about working with clay to make trinket dishes using this method!

Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Your ID for a beverage and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. I will provide everything needed to make your dishes. Grab a friend and bring them too!

Q: How long is the class?
A: The instruction portion of the class will last about 30 minutes. Then you will have 2 hours to explore and finish your pieces, and I will be there to assist. Please plan to end on time.
