How much plastic use can you reduce in your home ?

Simply put: toxic chemicals used in packaging are insufficiently regulated in the United States. And when packaging sheds microplastics into your food and drink—it’s leaching chemicals too.

Join us in calling on legislators to restrict plastic packaging now. People deserve safer packaging and stronger protections.

Artable Curiosities volunteer Michelle moved to Seguin in 2018 and recently retired, embracing this new chapter by spending more time with her family and enjoying the community she now calls home.

Michelle first visited Artable Curiosities in 2022 when she brought her grandson to create art and shop for supplies. Inspired by the welcoming atmosphere and creative mission, she soon began volunteering and became passionate about supporting the organization’s focus on reuse, creativity, and making art accessible for everyone. She believes strongly in the positive impact the program has on the community and enjoys being part of something that encourages imagination, sustainability, and connection.

When she is not volunteering, Michelle enjoys quilting, wool needle felting, and a variety of crafting projects. She also loves cooking for family and spending peaceful afternoons sitting by the water at Lake Placid with her grandsons, creating memories and enjoying the simple moments together.

Hello new friends! 🥰We’ve had lots of new followers lately, so here are a few things we get asked all the time:

📍 Where are you located?225 N. Saunders St. Seguin, TX 78155

🕒 What are your hours?
Wednesday–Saturday | 10AM–5PM

Teacher Room is closed to shopping for a bit.. (great reason- lots of new stuff))
However you still have the reuse shop for classroom stuff available.

🍎 What is the Teacher Store and what can teachers expect?Our Teacher Store is a free resource space designed just for educators! Teachers can shop a wide variety of classroom supplies, craft materials, office items, books, manipulatives, seasonal décor, STEM materials, and creative reuse treasures to support their students and classrooms.

Inventory changes constantly based on community donations, so every visit is a little different — like a treasure hunt for your classroom! Whether you teach elementary, secondary, art, homeschool, special education, or run an after-school program, there’s something here to help stretch classroom budgets and spark creativity.

How do teachers receive free classroom materials?Public & charter school teachers can register at checkout using a valid school or district email. Teacher resources are provided free through The Impact Project thanks to community support.

🎨 I’m not a teacher — how can I support what you do?
We use a “Pay What Feels Fair” community pricing model.

That means when those who can give a little more do, it helps keep materials affordable and accessible while also helping provide FREE classroom resources to teachers across our community.

Your contribution helps:
✨ Support teachers
✨ Keep creativity accessible
✨ Keep usable materials out of landfills
✨ Sustain workshops, programs, and community spaces

This only works because people choose to support something they believe matters. Thank you for being part of the woven voices that keep creativity, generosity, and community moving forward together. 🫶

Welcome to the world of creative reuse, Seguin & South Texas 💚
