SUPPLY SWAP!


Saturday, Sept. 27

What we are looking for: 

Of course we can't possibly know all the awesome stuff you may bring in, but if you're wondering what kind of swap this is, let this be your guide:

New or gently used craft supplies donations including, but certainly not limited to:

  • MARK MAKING: inks, pencils, paints, brushes, pastels, erasers, chalks, charcoals, markers

  • FIBER: yarn, fabric, thread, embroidery supplies, knitting needles/crochet hooks, thread, patterns, ribbon, quilting tools, dressmaking, sewing machines, sewing notions

  • TOOLS: scissors, glue guns, soldering irons, craft knives, hole punches, easels, photo equipment, pottery tools, rulers

  • SUBSTRATES: canvas, watercolor paper, drawing paper, scratch boards, panels, sketchbooks, construction paper, newsprint

  • CRAFTS: beads, jewelry findings, containers of all sorts, artificial flowers, foam, felt, scrapbooking supplies, stamps, ink pads

  • BOOKS: art/craft instruction books, art/craft magazines, patterns, and store bought crafting kits

What we are NOT looking for: 

  • If it stinks, we don't want it.

  • Please don't bring anything moldy, dirty, super heavy, or in need of repair. We love the old, cool, vintage stuff, but if it isnt functional, please leave it at home. 

  • This swap is not for antiques or curios, it's about usable crafting and art making materials and supplies.

  • We do love fabric but we can't use cut up t-shirts, stuffing from your sofa, old pillows or clothing.

  • We also ask that you leave the hazardous materials in your garage, including oil-based solvents, house paint, dry paint tubes, stuff that is crazy heavy, etc.

  • If it cannot be used immediately and without rehabilitation as a crafting material, supply, or tool, please don't donate it.
