The Precious Plastic “Re-Makerspace” is located on the Arts District Campus in the Fuqua Livery Stable. Fuqua functions as an all-in-one Precious Plastic workspace. The process begins with collecting clean, label-free plastic. The plastic is sorted and shredded and then stored for future projects. With a robust workshop that includes everything such as an injection mold machine, a sheet press and a 3D printer, your plastic trash can go through a variety of transformations. We can even recycle your Precious Plastic project when you’re done with it.

Breck Create believes that sustainability and environmental awareness are key values in maintaining the spirit of Breckenridge. As an extension of our commitment to the natural environment, we are proud to partner with Precious Plastic–a worldwide initiative that exists to reduce plastic waste through a combination of people, machines, platforms and knowledge. At Breck Create, our participation in the Precious Plastic initiative takes the form of a “Mix Workspace,” where community members and visitors to Breckenridge can transform plastic waste into art. 

In this workspace on the Arts District Campus, our team collects clean, label-free #1, #2, #5, and #6 plastics from local businesses and community members. The plastic is then shredded and sorted for use in classes and workshops, where patrons can learn how to create new objects from plastic waste using Precious Plastic equipment. We will also offer open studios, during which time patrons who have already taken introductory classes can use the equipment without the guidance of an instructor.
