SCRAP Creative Reuse is a treasure trove for the imaginative and eco-conscious explorer. It's more than just a store; it's a sanctuary for creativity and sustainability.

What truly sets SCRAP apart is its commitment to repurposing and upcycling. Every item tells a story, waiting to be transformed into something new and beautiful. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a novice artist, you'll find inspiration in abundance. From vintage fabrics to quirky trinkets, the eclectic array of materials sparks the imagination and invites experimentation.

But SCRAP isn't just about the products—it's about community. The friendly staff are passionate about fostering a culture of creativity, offering workshops and events to connect like-minded individuals. It's a place where ideas flourish, collaborations bloom, and friendships form.

Scrap is a place I can go with my child and I can say yes more than I say no. Beyond affordable art supplies. Just walking around gets the imagination rolling. We love it!
Last year we did a birthday party in the maker space and the guests and parents were charmed by this downtown gem they hadn't yet met.
Thank you for all you do.

I shop at Scrap, donate materials to them, and have taken a number of sewing classes there. I have found marvelous things at great prices there and I love knowing that I am keeping things out of landfills by shopping and donating there. The sewing classes I have taken were so fun. I learned a TON and feel much more confident sewing now than I did at the beginning. They are even teaching me how to draft my own patterns. Their classes are very affordable, which makes them more accessible to the community. I highly recommend Scrap!

SCRAP is such an incredible resource for our community! The combination of their community events, their classes (both on- and off-site), and their creative reuse donation-based store means that they reach so many members of our community in so many ways! The staff and teachers are full of creativity and excitement and love to inspire and support your creative projects! They have camp for kiddos, classes for adults, really fun creative reuse craft kits, and so much more! What a great place full of great people spreading a great mission!

SCRAP is just such a worty organization. As an at home "artist" re-establishing my studio I knew how amazing a place it is to shop, but after volunteering I realized to what extent they really go to educate people about the artistic and organizaional possibilities of re-using what was formerly considered garbage. Bravo!

SCRAP is so awesome! It is a crafty paradise with many vintage craft materials like fabric, binding tape, and buttons just to name a few. But they also collect the more obscure materials made useful by virtue of their bulk, like bottles, tins and vials of various sizes, photo negatives, corks, and vintage paper.

Scrap is a great place to shop and a great place to donate your bulk items. It's perfect for crafty folks, great for kids, and amazing for teachers! I get all kinds of creative items and ideas for my classroom there!
