3 of Cups

is a queer, neurospicy micro arts collective located on a growing permaculture agroforest in Pittsburgh PA. We specialize in taking the tossed aside and turning it into the treasured. Whether a curbside find or something from your grandmother’s closet, we’re rescuing, reviving, refinishing, restoring and making it ready for reuse.

Most of our materials are locally upcycled. When we cannot find something second hand (mainly consumables like furniture finish and thread), we do our best to source the most ethical product we can. 

Why should you care?

Consumerism is a disease that is damaging the delicate ecosystem that we depend upon.

In a world dominated by corporations, billionaires, and exploitation, 3 of Cups offers an alternative. We work in a way that aligns with the planetary system, our community, and our own needs.
