Pat Miller describes the coffee table that she made out of upcyled material to Suzie Grimm on Thursday during the MakerLab and Powerhouse celebration for the Inaugural Spring-Build-Up Furniture Building Contest at the Powerhouse. Miller and those who participated had to use materials that people had discarded along curbs during the city of Durango’s Spring Cleanup. She used wood from a baby crib, picket fencing and stainless steal tubes. “I didn’t know what I was going to make, so the materials dictated what I was going to build. I then constructed most of it at the MakerLab,” Miller said.
