Greetings!
Happy New Year! 2012 was a great year here at SCRAP. Here are some highlights: - We diverted more materials than ever before in our warehouse, keeping over half a million pounds of material out of landfill and getting them into the hands of thousands of artists, teachers, and nonprofits. - We attended 76 community events, from the Bayview Opera House to the Cal Academy of Sciences, teaching creative reuse throughout the Bay Area. - We hosted our largest material give-away for teachers yet, helping 218 Bay Area teachers get free materials for their classes, impacting over 6000 students. - Our SCRAP Art show reception was jam-packed and our creative reuse hands-on day at the exhibition was abuzz with creativity and fun. Thanks to all the wonderful artists who participated. - We are honored to have gotten such great response to our fundraising campaign. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, we appreciate all the support! You can look forward to some great things in 2013 from SCRAP. We are just getting started! Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 10th for our I Heart SCRAP party complete with live music, fun hands-on crafting and more. Looking forward to a great year!

Just in time for the Lunar New Year,  introduce your students to the history and making of a useful and artistic object, the fan! The fan has been utilized by people all around the world dating back thousands of years. Fans can be a gateway for the art of illustration and painting, music and dance, poetry and writing, mathematical concepts, science, cultural understanding and art appreciation. Sherie will present a variety of art media and techniques to produce fans in a classroom setting. The lesson can be adapted to any level of instruction and covers cross-curricular ideas while meeting state teaching standards. Sherie Yazman is a retired SFUSD art educator and a National Board Certified Teacher. - - - - - presented by Cathy Miranker Learn to make a fascinating structure called a flexagon, so named because it flexes and unfolds to reveal four faces. It uses just one piece of paper, and we'll use many sizes for practice and with varying content, all using SCRAP materials. The flexagon is great for poetry, for displaying paired pictures and text, calendars and more. The final  project will be making calendars. Ever since Cathy Miranker discovered bookmaking she has been both a voracious student and a busy teacher. She pioneered Youth Programs for the San Francisco Center for the Book and secured funding to for book arts education in the San Francisco public schools.

 For all you SCRAP jewelry fans, alt craft duo, emiko oye and Shana Astrachan of Accessorize with Toys bring back PROJECT ACCESSORIZE for another full-day workshop. Taking cues from the reality series, Project Runway, participants will have one day to design, "shop" for materials, and create a one-of-a-kind, personalized talisman pendant. Participants will choose a personal treasure, either brought from home or found at SCRAP, that will be the inspiration point and central object  of focus for their jewelry. Shana and emiko will guide individuals through the creative process to "Make it Work", sharing techniques for working with alternative materials and local resources. The instructors will share examples of their work and of other recycled artists and lead a group critique/brainstorming session to inspire making beyond the classroom.

SCRAP Workshop

Saturday, February 23rd, 10am - 4pm fee: $60
Join us in welcoming fiber artist Sonya Philip as she shares her  passion for sewing! Her project 100 Acts of Sewing, a personal challenge to sew one hundred dresses in a year, also aims to reacquaint people with the skills required to make clothing. In this full day workshop at SCRAP learn to make a simple, sleeveless A-line shift dress. It's just four seams and a hem! The neck and armholes are finished with a simple bias tape facing, and pockets are added both for flair and utility. Sonya will show how to cut  pattern pieces, finish seams, make bias tape, and top stitch patch pockets. Choose your fabric and supplies at SCRAP or bring your own yardage. The pattern, in six sizes, will be provided to trace and take home. This is not a beginning sewing class, you will need to have some previous experience using a sewing machine. Please bring a sewing machine if you have one and if you do not we will have a couple available for use.
About Sonya
Sonya Philip has always made things. It's the way things were done in her family. She was encouraged by her parents to truly look at things and instilled a love for the handmade. As a self-taught artist, she enjoys the freedom of exploring and stretching mediums.
