Board Report
| |
I am thrilled to have joined the SCRAP Board! I've always balanced my accountant 'side' with creative outlets for fund raising, home, classroom and seasonal art projects not only for myself but also for my two growing boys.
| |
Most recently, my love of gardening returned me to the classroom for botany instruction and receipt of my master's certification in Botanical Illustration. The discovery of SCRAP added to my classroom experience and the creative juices continue to flow. It never fails that the boys and I bring home great finds: paint, nibs, paper, books, glass jars, material, sometimes a tile or two and always an item that we find a 'need' for. The boys and I are equally enthused about our volunteering for SCRAP's teacher give-away days and look forward to meeting and aiding all the fabulous teachers passing through the first Saturday of each month in their search for classroom and project materials. It is with pleasure that I can combine both my accounting knowledge and my love for art as a Board Member for SCRAP.

SCRAP Paper: Iris Fold w/ Jody Alexander
Saturday, October 12th 1-4pm fee: $40
The Iris Fold technique originated in  Holland and makes a striking frame for any image or photograph. Strips of folded paper create a spiral design that resembles the iris of an eye or camera. In this workshop artist Jody Alexander will show participants how to make iris fold creations using SCRAP materials to frame an image of their choice that can be used on a card or left ready for framing.

 Join artist Reddy Lieb as she shares her passion for glass once again. Tempered glass mosaics glimmer as they refract light with a glimpse of veiled collages underneath. Come learn how to work with this magical material and create a recycled mixed media piece. Participants will work with collage materials found at SCRAP  and adhere them to a piece of wood, a box or other 3D form, then cover the collage with tempered glass. The second day of class participants will finish their mosaics with colored grouts to enhance the design.

WE SCRAP! Workshops for educators present creative reuse projects that can be used in the classroom, use SCRAP materials, and directly tie into curriculum. Participants will have the opportunity to create and will 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 the project fulfills. WE SCRAP! Workshops are 10am - 1pm fee: $15 Nov 2nd - Science with Toys presented by Francisco Hernandez
 Design thinking and basic science experiments can be made accessible by building a variety of simple toys. Participants will construct tops, pinwheels, wind turbines, parachutes, a basic barometer, or sound horns to listen to old vinyl records. We will investigate how guided exploration through inquiry is an ideal method for teaching STEM in your classroom. This student-driven approach is also well suited for integration of math concepts such as geometry and measurement.

SCRAP Quilts w/ Kenan Shapero
Nov 9th, 10am to 4pm fee: $60
 Join us as Kenan Shapero shares her knowledge and inspiration for the Scrap quilt in the perfect place... SCRAP! Kenan will begin the class with an introduction to the world of Scrap quilts giving an overview of the various and many types. Then she will lead participants through the materials depot to investigate all the bits of wonderful fabric found at SCRAP that can be incorporated into a SCRAP quilt of their own. By the end of the day participants will have the first few blocks of their quilt done or a small top ready to be made into a sandwich and quilted. Included in the workshop will be information for how to quilt and bind these small masterpieces. Please bring a sewing machine.

 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 their own finger puppet characters, students are eager to write and decorate their creative adventures on sturdy paper. Once holes are cut, finger puppet characters poke up and come alive on the page(s) of student books. This workshop will provide opportunities to make both glued and sewn finger puppets with a variety of treasures found at SCRAP. We will also experiment with simple bookmaking techniques. Because of small items (buttons, beads, pom-poms) used to make finger puppets, they are not suitable for very young children.
