Rebel Craft Rumble

Every year SCRAP hosts Rebel Craft Rumble, a raucous and rowdy craft-off competition – think “Top Chef” meets “Project Runway” live on stage! In 2011, reigning champion Sister Diane Gilleland, editor-in-chief of CRAFT, took home the Cup du SCRAP for the second year in a row and retains the title of Craft Master.

Holiday Bazaar

SCRAP’s Holiday Bazaar features 15-20 reuse artisan vendors set up in our store. Shoppers will find a treasure trove of great holiday gifts for friends and family, all made out of at least 75% reused materials. There’s also live music, crafts, raffle prizes, and food!

Incognito

The week before Halloween each year, SCRAP likes to celebrate with a masquerade party and fundraiser called Incognito. Past events have included mask making, live music, auctions, food and drink. On October 28, 2011, Incognito was held at SCRAP for the first time ever! Read the full recap for more info and photos from this year’s masquerade fundraiser.
