Request: Ceramics/Pottery Equipment Supplies (East side of Tucson) Looking for a kiln and a pug mill to set-up in my (soon to be built) pottery studio. I am 99% sure nobody will be giving these away, but thought I would check before I start shopping for used equipment.

Request: Old, used candles for wax (East side of Tucson) Starting a project and it requires a great desl of candle wax. Looking for any candles, any color, any fragrance, and in any condition. Going to be all melted together to use as a resist on wood. A bit of dust will not affect it either as the wax will be strained. I’m on the E side but can pick up from other areas while on weekly errands. Thanks in advance and happy holidays to all!!

Request: Plywood/drywall, Hardy backer board (East side of Tucson) Making a little cottage-style building (similar to the photo) to use as a pottery studio. I am just reaching out to all the kind, local Tucson folks to see if there may be some stuff taking up space that I could haul off and use in my project. *Dirty/dusty doesn't matter. Okay, so I still need: Some 2x4’s or larger dimensional wood (any) Drywall (scraps or sheets) Plywood (scraps or sheets) Hardie/Hardy backer/waterproof board Insulation (clean used is absolutely fine) I will pick-up whenever is convenient for YOU. Also in the market for a ceramics kiln and pug mill. Thanks a million!!!!! Xx

Free: Holiday gift wrap, wrapping paper (East side of Tucson) Gifted I did free gift wrapping for people at work again this year and am left with quite a bit. I have several small partial rolls and a couple nearly full rolls of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza wrapping paper. I’m happy to split it up amongst several people so everybody gets a chance. Please let me know as soon as possible. Pick up will be on the east side of Tucson (near Harrison and Speedway) or if I’m out running errands I could meet elsewhere. Just make a note in your message if you are picking up, or where you’re going to be needing to meet, as well as the holiday. Those without this info will need to be ignored otherwise since I think there’s going to be a lot of responses (based on how things went with this posting last year). *** If you are offering any glass Oui yogurt, containers, or Talenti ice cream / gelato containers from my other postings, please let me know because that would be easier for us to connect at the same time. Thanks a lot and happy holidays. :)

Request: Talenti gelato icecream containers (East side of Tucson) I have been storing small parts in my shop in these containers and they work terrific because they’re really heavy duty. If you happen to eat this delicious ice cream or gelato and end up with leftover containers that you’re not using, please let me know. I live on the east side so if you’re in another part of the city, I would have to coordinate with other errands that I run to save on gas, but I would be delighted to have them. Thank you in advance and happy holidays. :)

Request: Empty Oui yoghurt jars (yougurt) (East side of Tucson) Ever since Tucson stopped recycling glass I started using these little jars for baby plants because they’re the perfect size and easy to drill a hole in the bottom. So, if you happen to have any, I would love to come get them. I live on the east side so if it’s only for a few and you’re on another part of town, I would need to try to coordinate with other errands that I have to run to save on gas. Thanks in advance snd

Request: a cricut vinyl cutting machine (East side of Tucson) Expired Looking for one that does not require cartridges, so I can print some names and other classroom decorations I have designed in the Cricut design app. Can pick up from pretty much anywhere.

Request: Pottery wheel (East side of Tucson) Expired Hi. I just started my first business a few months ago. I have been hand-building clay decor items, such as orchid pots, serving trays and small sculptures. Over Christmas I set-up along the road near Vail and in 4 days I almost sold out. For my birthday I was gifted a pottery class by a friend and I really loved it. It is harder to do for me, but I would love to start selling thrown pottery, so I need to practice. If anybody has an old pottery wheel I could borrow for a few months to practice on and make enough items to sell so I can afford to buy my own wheel, I would he very grateful. It does not have to be great. Or even if it needs some repair that is fine. I am not good at it yet, so practice is key, but honestly I can not afford to pay for wheel time at the co-op AND my supplies. Anything would help me get this business going. Even a few weeks of use if you currently use your wheel. I can pick up from anywhere in the greater Tucson area. A deposit and signing papers for the loan of the wheel is no problem. I hope someone out there has one collecting dust. Or even pass my info along if you know of a retired potter. Happy New Year and prosperity to all! Thank you so much. Felicity F.

Free: Lots of Newspaper & Cardboard scrap (East side of Tucson) Expired I have been saving up lots of New York Times and Tucson newspapers, as well as broken down boxes. This spring I used them to pad my garden, to serve as mulch, to keep weeds out and to make it less messy to walk through after watering/rains. I just laid down another few layers, but still have a ton left. LMK if you want papers and/or cardboard for a similar use or it will be going in my compost pile next week.
