Lancaster Creative Reuse is a community-driven organization that connects excess materials to those who can use them creatively. Through their low-cost art, craft, and sewing store, Open Craft Table, and outreach programs, LCR inspires creativity, increases access to the arts, and encourages reuse. Visitors can explore the thrift store, craft with their kids, take a class, or even host a crafty birthday party. Customers describe it as a "fun place to create everything fun and creative," with "amazing prices" and a welcoming atmosphere, unlike some other thrift stores. The staff is praised as "incredibly kind and helpful," guiding customers through the endless nooks and crannies filled with vintage and modern art supplies. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting, Lancaster Creative Reuse is a must-visit destination for affordable, recycled art and craft supplies.
Love this store! There’s always so much to look at and the staff are friendly and helpful. I love bringing new life to craft supplies. And they are constantly getting new stuff, so every time you go there’s lots more to look at!

I always stop by LCR before buying something new for a DIY project. They have a ton of scrapbook paper, fabric, empty frames, and holiday items in stock, but I'm always surprised by the new things I find there.

This is an EXCELLENT community resource for creative reuse! Before you buy a frame for a DIY project or walk into a fabric store, stop by LCR and see if you can find a gently used item for a fraction of the price. So grateful to have this place in the Lancaster Community!
