By popular demand - a weekend Crafting Camp SCRAP... for grownups!
Price: $195.00
SCRAP PDX has been providing art materials and environmental education to children for the past 20 years.
Now it’s time for the grownups to have some fun.
There are only a limited number spaces left for our action-packed inaugural Camp SCRAP for Grownups.
Participants will learn creative skills that incorporate reuse materials during a weekend camp session hosted in SCRAP’s studio on SW Alder St. After an introductory crafty happy hour evening and facility tour (drinks included), the “campers” will spend Saturday and Sunday working on in-depth art projects while exploring the creative potential of discarded materials.
Instructor-led activities will include bookbinding, jewelry making with bicycle tubes, assemblage shrine building, and hand embroidery lessons including take home embroidery kits
With plenty of open crafting time and access to all the materials of the SCRAP creative reuse center store, the possibilities for expression are endless.
