Board Report
| |
Looking ahead to a busy season for SCRAP. The board, organization, and service to the community continues to grow. It's rewarding to see the wide ranging community members forage through the warehouse for costumes, decorations, crafts, and gifts. We know teachers, artists, parents, and many nonprofits depend on reusable materials for their classrooms, workshops, art making, and inspiration. SCRAP needs your donations to further our service to the community. Please think of SCRAP as you give generously this season.

Greetings!
Last month, several of us here at SCRAP attended the Reuse Conex conference in Portland, where we were inspired by creative reuse centers old and new. Some had amazing programs, some had enormous warehouses, some were just starting out, and some had great community support. SCRAP is proud to be the first creative reuse center and so glad that the movement is spreading throughout the world. Here in San Francisco, we're always interested in spreading creative reuse more in our community. That's why we bring art out to various fairs, festivals and events. That's why we host creative reuse workshops that inspire your inner artist to use SCRAP materials in new and interesting ways. And that's why we are hosting our fourth art show, highlighting fifty-five creative artists who were inspired by SCRAP and the materials found here. Please help us spread creative reuse by sharing our facebook posts, tweeting about SCRAP, introducing friends to SCRAP, signing up for a workshop and getting a group together to go to our art exhibition. And thank you for being a part of our SCRAP community,Shuai Chen Executive Director, SCRAP

Every first Saturday SCRAP will be holding a WE SCRAP! workshop for educators presenting a creative reuse project that can be used in the classroom, uses SCRAP materials, and directly ties into the curriculum. Participants will learn and create the project and then obtain a materials package to teach the project in their own classroom complete with an instruction sheet that includes a list of California Content Standards that the project fulfills. 10am to 1pm fee: $15 (for educators only)
Dec 1st - Finger Puppet Books
presented by Patricia Christensen
Finger puppets are fun and can be easily made with many different materials and techniques. These little puppets inspire storytelling; and dialogue seems to come naturally. After creating finger puppet characters, students are eager to write and decorate their creative adventures on sturdy paper. Then holes are cut and finger puppet characters poke up to come alive on the page. Participants will be shown how to make both glued and sewn finger puppets with a variety of treasures found at SCRAP as well as experiment with simple bookmaking techniques.
Patricia Christensen is a SFUSD Visual Art Teacher with 4/5 grade classroom experience. She has taught textiles and mixed-media art making for over twenty years. To register click here!

Fabric Covered Books w/ CJ Grossman
Date Change! Saturday, Nov 10th 10am - 4pm fee: $60
Join us in welcoming back book  artist CJ Grossman as she leads this fun and inspiring full-day bookmaking workshop. Participants will learn how to make fabric-covered books with all the delectable fabrics from SCRAP at their fingertips decorating with ribbons, cords, buttons, beads, and anything else they can find. Participants can bring items from home to incorporate in their work such as charms, fabrics, or favorite rubber stamps (for a finishing touch on an inside page). CJ will teach two kinds of stitching for the books: a multiple pamphlet stitch, and a more complex sewing method which will allow for up to 6 signatures of paper. These books can be thick or thin, used for sketchbooks or journals, and are a great gift for the holidays.

SCRAP Workshop for Kids
|
presented by Green Art Workshop
Monday, Nov 12th 1 - 3:30pm fee: $40 (for ages 9 -13)
 In this workshop students will create an imaginative hanging sculpture based on the natural elements (earth, fire, water, and air). Students will explore the colors associated with their chosen element, what real or imagined creatures might inhabit this space, and consider what it would be like to experience this element with all five senses. Using found materials from SCRAP, they will construct a 3-dimensional mobile that reflects the essence of their element.
About Green Art Workshop Elizabeth O'Connor and Susan Lynn Smith co-founded Green Art Workshop. It is a hands-on eco-conscious program that brings teaching artists into Bay Area classrooms and after school programs. In our classes, youth create imaginative personal and collaborative projects by re-envisioning everyday materials. We encourage critical thinking and heighten environmental awareness in the creative process.
