House of Craft and upcoming events.

Although we do not have home at this time we are sponsoring and hosting several events in the upcoming months and working to get our raw materials exchange in action a bit more even if it be on a smaller level.While we still have no storage for materials we will continue to have the occasional opportunity to get low cost and free materials and the opportunity for folkks ot donate materials directly to groups in need. Here is what we have planned for December 2008:

Dec 6th- Deluxe Indie Craft Holiday Bazaar- We are sponsoring this event under the name of House of Craft and will be providing recycled supplies to a adult and kid's make and take station that will have different artists and crafters teaching folks creative ways to make their own holiday decorations and such. Some supplies we are seeking for this event are pompoms, felt , and pipecleaners.This event has free admission and the make and take station will be free also.
Anyone who thinks they might have any of the supplies needed to donate can contact Stephanie at houseofcraftok@gmail.com

Dec 12th- This is our regular second Friday in the Plaza District called Live on the Plaza. For this months event we will be hosting a Santa's Recycled Toy Lab featuring the opportunity for adults and kids to create new toys, art, and robots from salvaged toy and game pieces. Kids under 12 must have a parent with them as we can not be responsible for child care. The event will cost $3-$5 and will include all supplies. At this time it looks like it will be located inside the House of Craft workspace in Bad Granny's Bazaar located at 1739 NW 16th St and will run from 6-10PM.
While we will not be able to handle receiving and sorting materials during the event, if folks would like to donate any broken toys, games with missing pieces(especially wooden or items like Dominoes) or any other sort of creative materials to make fun recycled gifts and toys , they can contact Stephanie at houseofcraft@gmail.com to schedule a pick up or drop off donation at Bad Granny's Bazaar any Thurs prior to the event.

In addition to these events we do have some low cost recycled materials available for purchase in our booths at both Rink Gallery and Bad Granny's Bazaar. The materials and priced way under cost and handy to many craft and art styles. All the proceeds from sales of these materials goes to our program and allows us to sponsor and supply free materials at events and to groups in need.
