School's Out, SCRAP's In!
We are having a 1 day mini camp for kids ages 6-12.
We will make quality projects (suitable for holiday gift giving!), take a behind the scenes tour, play games, and learn about creative reuse. Bring a sack lunch and a water bottle!

Join us every Wednesday for a different workshop geared towards kids ages 6 and up. Learn how to make metal sculptures, beaded jewelry, bind books, tie dye and more.

Cost: $15

Note:
Due to insurance reasons, adults must remain in the building while children are in class. Parents can browse Daisys and Dinos, the kid's resale store, or visit in the Warehouse Cafe for a cup of coffee or a plate of tasty organic food. The cafe provides free wireless, and has a great play area.
